He was a senior looking forward to a career in the NFL before he was shot and killed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis whole world revolved around football and his family,\u201d stated Detective Juan Segovia of Miami-Dade Police Department. \u201cSo, it\u2019s not liek he had a lot of enemies, he wasn\u2019t involved in any criminal elements.
