New Orleans Pelicans star Bryce Dejean-Jones has been shot dead after allegedly breaking into an apartment.

The 23-year-old NBA player died early on Saturday morning after he was shot in the abdomen.

A resident of an apartment in Dallas, Texas, told police he heard someone kick down his door shortly after 3am, Fox 4 reported.

He told police that he grabbed his gun and shot Dejean-Jones when he entered his bedroom.

Police found the basketball player in a pool of blood in a hallway outside the apartment. He was taken to hospital but could not be saved.

Cops are treating the death as a homicide.

The gunman told police that he called out to the intruder, but opened fire after they did not respond.
