The former NFL wide receiver who played with Tom Brady — was shot and killed in Tampa, Florida. Deborah Caldwell, his mother, confirmed the devastating news to the gossip site. Deborah shared that her son, Reche (real name Donald Caldwell) was getting ready to take his girlfriend out on a date when he went back inside his home to grab a jacket.
Reche’s GF says the former player was “ambushed” by a “couple of people” who jumped out of bushes trying to rob him. He was reportedly shot in the leg and chest. Reche’s mother said he died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
“He was a good person who smiled all of the time,” Deborah Caldwell told TMZ. “He tried to help everyone he could. He was the type of guy who would take his shirt off his back and give it to you.”
