The girlfriend of slain Auburn University football player Jakell Mitchell had been involved in an argument prior to being shot early Sunday morning, according to the Associated Press.
Ayanna Hughuley, 17, told the AP that Mitchell was having an argument with one man before another man approached him brandishing a weapon. Hughuley said she did not know what the argument was about.
"He just started shooting. Jakell fell on the ground and he tried to get back up and run, and then he fell again. He started shooting at Jakell again while Jakell was on the ground," Hughuley told the AP.
