Charleston, WV (AP) – A football player at Division II West Virginia State was fatally shot during what the university says is being investigated by police as a home invasion.
Charleston police say the body of linebacker Jyilek Zyiare Harrington was found inside an apartment Wednesday night.
Police say several gunshots were fired during a disturbance in a hallway and inside the apartment.
The 21-year-old Harrington was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say they have no information on a possible suspect.
A moment of silence was planned Friday before West Virginia State’s home opener against Carson-Newman.
Harrington played at Carson-Newman last season.
