Former Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee has been charged with first-degree murder.
According to a report from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office obtained by Chattanooga’s ABC9, deputies arrested Lee on Thursday after finding his girlfriend dead inside a home near Tennessee's Ooltewah Elementary School.
The HCSO report states deputies were dispatched to the residence after receiving a call that CPR was in progress on an adult female. First responders attempted life-saving measures, but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Due to the condition of the victim and the residence, HCSO called in detectives from its Criminal Investigations Services unit.
