Former Texas Tech basketball star Andre Emmett has been shot and killed in Dallas, according to multiple reports.

According to Dallas police, Emmett was 'approached by two unknown suspects as he sat in his vehicle in front of his residence in the 1800 block of N. Prairie Avenue [around 2:30am].

'The suspects displayed a handgun and an altercation ensued, during which the victim was shot as he ran away from the suspects,' the police statement continued.

A passerby called 911 after seeing Emmett several-hundred feet from his home.

Emmett was transported to a hospital, where he ultimately died.

Witnesses told Dallas police that they saw a pair of suspects flee the scene before getting into a white Chrysler sedan.

The 37-year-old Emmett had recently become a father, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The 6-foot-5 small forward sits as the all-time leading scorer in Texas Tech history. He also had a brief NBA career that began with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2004. He recently played in the Big3 league, which is populated by former NBA and college stars.
