“One man is dead and a woman is in the hospital after a double shooting on Monday night,” News4Jax reported.

Anderson played running back from the Knights from 2017-2020 before being signed by the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent to a three-year deal.

While playing for the Knights, Anderson averaged 6.1 yards per carry, which ranks second in UCF rushing history.

Most of Anderson’s production came during his junior season, where he led the team with 726 rushing yards on the year on 113 total attempts.

Anderson led the American Athletic Conference in punt returning, with his 13.2 yards per return. This ranked sixth nationally.

“JSO said it is not looking for anyone else and it hasn’t announced any arrests or charges,” News 4 Jax reported.
