Reche Caldwell, who played six NFL seasons with the Chargers, Patriots and Redskins, was fatally shot in Florida this weekend.
Caldwell’s mother, Deborah, did not return phone messages left by The Associated Press on Sunday, but confirmed her son’s death to the Tampa Bay Times.
The New England Patriots and Washington Redskins — two of Caldwell’s stops in the NFL — and his alma mater were among those to tweet condolences to his family, along with former Florida coach Steve Spurrier and former Gators quarterback Rex Grossman. “RIP Reche,” Grossman wrote. “You were one of my favourite teammates of all time. I will always remember our time at Florida for your unreal talent, infectious humour, and our shared success as a team. You will be missed by all your Gator family.”
The 41-year-old Caldwell was not named in a police report on the incident per Florida law, but the report said, early in the investigation, the shooting “does not appear to be a random act.”
