Following a tragic incident at a private party in Sanford, Florida, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been discharged from a hospital in the state. The event, which occurred on April 27, 2024, involved a teenage gunman opening fire, resulting in ten individuals sustaining injuries, including Dell, a 24-year-old native of Daytona Beach, Florida, known for his agility on the football field.
Dell had a promising start with the Texans, showcasing his skills in his rookie season, where he quickly became a favorite target for quarterback CJ Stroud. However, his debut season was marred by a leg injury in Week 13, requiring him to undergo surgery and prematurely ending his season. The recent shooting incident took place while Dell was recuperating from his injury.
Prompt action from security guards at the scene helped subdue the shooter, who is now in custody facing charges, including attempted homicide. Fortunately, none of the victims sustained life-threatening injuries, with most receiving treatment for gunshot wounds to their lower extremities.
The Texans expressed sympathy and support for those affected by the incident, including Dell, whose injuries from the shooting were reportedly minor. Witnesses recounted that the shooting erupted following a fistfight, with the shooter allegedly not involved in the altercation but indiscriminately firing into the crowd.
