NFL wide receiver Tank Dell shot in Sanford

SANFORD, Fla. – Tank Dell, a wide receiver for the Houston Texans, suffered minor injuries after being shot in Sanford, according to a social media post by the team.

WKMG in Orlando reported that it’s not yet known if Dell was one of the 10 people shot and injured at an event venue in Seminole County early Sunday morning.

Officials from the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said that a 16-year-old boy is accused of shooting the 10 people at Cabana Live, an event venue and restaurant located at 4380 Carraway Place in Sanford.

Dell played football at Daytona Beach’s Mainland High School before playing in college and eventually being drafted by the Texans.

A statement from the Texans read in part, “We have been made aware that Tank Dell was a victim of a shooting in Sanford, Fla. last night. He sustained a minor wound but has been released from the hospital and he is in good spirits.”

WKMG has reached out to law enforcement officials to inquire is Dell was one of the 10 victims in the above referenced shooting.
