NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Update: Fisk University reports that one of its student-athletes was shot and killed on an interstate in Nashville over the weekend.

“Fisk University joins our Athletic Department in mourning the tragic loss of Andre Bell, a sophomore Business Administration major and student-athlete,” Fisk shared on Monday afternoon.

Athletics Director Valencia Jordan reports that Bell, 20, was returning to campus after volunteering to help with the university’s gymnastics meet when the shooting occurred.

“Today, we lost a leader on and off the basketball court. Andre ‘Dre,’ a young, bright, and gentle young man, was unfairly snatched from this world. He was a dominant force on the Fisk University Men’s Basketball team, but he was most remembered for his infectious smile, loving personality, and unique ability to always bring warmth to a room. We now have a deep absence in our program, but more importantly, we have a deep pain in our hearts. He will be truly missed. Our thoughts and unwavering prayers are with his family and the little kids in his family and in Nashville who looked up to him.”

Jeremiah Crutcher, Head Coach, Men’s Basketball
