Minnesota redshirt football player killed BY BRIAN HALL & ANTHONY MAGGIO MINNESOTA DAILY (II. MINNESOTA) MINNEAPOLIS (U-WIRE) - Brandon Hall, a University of Minnesota football player, was fatally shot Sunday in the early morning hours at Third Street and Hennepin Avenue in down town Minneapolis. The 19-year old redshirt freshman died at 2:54 a.m. in the emergency room at Hennepin County Medical Center, hours af ter playing in his first college foot ball game. Word quickly Hall, 19, of Detroit, Mich., was shot and killed Saturday. Mason collects his , thoughts as he talks about Hall’s death. apieau iiiiuugu the program, and coach Glen Mason an nounced Hall’s death at a news conference Sunday. “Our prayers go out to Brandon and his family," Mason said. “Our immediate con cern is with sup v“*t3 Brandon’s family, his teammates and his many friends.” Officers found a handgun and arrested three men immediately after the shooting. Lee Cain Jr., a university fa cilities management employee, Raymond Hardimon and Jermaine Stansberry were ar rested after witnesses at the scene described the white van the three fled in after the shoot ing. According to police docu ments, officers found the hand gun during the arrest and the suspects’ vehicle has been im pounded. All three men have several aliases and extensive criminal backgrounds, according to the police documents. Stansberry was arrested for murder in 1995 but never charged. Cain and Hardimon both have multiple ar rests. “The football players were all there and were able to give our officers very good physical de scriptions, clothing, as well as the van which allowed our offi cers to move in and make an im mediate arrest,” said Cyndi Barrington, a Minneapolis Police Department spokeswoman. Damian Haye, a Gophers red shirt freshman defensive line man, was allegedly robbed of a gold chain and assaulted outside South Beach Restaurant and Night Club in the Minneapolis warehouse district. Haye then allegedly gathered some of his teammates, includ ing Hall, to find the perpetrators. The group found the three men near Third Street and Hennepin Avenue, authorities said. As the group approached the three men, one of the men re trieved a gun from a nearby van. The group of football players began to flee, Barrington said, but Hall turned and walked to ward the gunman, saying he was not with the group. The gunman then shot Hall in the upper tor so, she said. The incident, from the robbery to the shooting, lasted about 15 minutes, Barrington said. Bill Kummer, 53, a resident at Archie Givens Atrium, across the street from where Hall was fatally shot, said he witnessed the scene from his ninth-story apartment just after the shoot ing. “I heard the shot,” Kummer said. “I looked out my window and saw a man lying by the fire hydrant, half on the sidewalk and half in the street.” Kummer said another man was leaning over Hall, holding up his head while apparently try ing to comfort him. Kummer said he was going to call 911, but four or five squad, cars arrived on the scene almost immediately. Barrington said of ficers half a block away heard a gunshot and rushed to the scene. One officer began performing CPR on Hall, but looked discour aged and was shaking his head, Kummer said. Shortly after, Hall was taken away by ambulance. The freshman defensive tackle played in his first collegiate game Saturday and recorded one tackle. Mason canceled Sunday’s afternoon practice and said he was unsure when the Gophers would return to their normal schedule. Minnesota is scheduled to travel to Louisiana-Lafayette - for a game Saturday.
