According to a TMZ report, former San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots wide receiver Reche Caldwell was shot and killed Saturday in Tampa.
The report indicates that Caldwell, 41, was “ambushed” by “a couple of people” outside of his house, apparently with the intent of robbing him, according to his mother. It indicates that Caldwell was shot in the leg and chest and died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.
ESPN also confirmed the report.
I just spoke with a Tampa Police spokesperson. He confirmed to me that former Florida Gators and NFL wide receiver Donald “Reche” Caldwell was killed last night in Tampa.
