University of Idaho football player, Eric McMillan, was shot to death while police arrested two men from Seattle late Sunday night, according to an AP article on ESPN.com. The two men were chased halfway across Washington State before finally being taken into custody.
McMillan, 19, the starting cornerback for the Vandals Saturday against Washington State, was declared dead after received a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. No motive for the shooting has been announced.
Hours after the shooting, Matthew R. Wells and James J. Wells were arrested on Interstate 90 in Washington. Both were booked into the Whitman County, Washington, Jail and were being held for investigation of felony attempting eluding with bail set at $75,000 each.
Both men were formerly football standouts at Ranier Beach High School in Seattle. They made an initial appearance in Superior Court on Monday and charges will likely be filed on Wednesday. No one knows why they would have been at the place of the shooting a day after the Vandals lost 49-8 to the Cougars.
"That's the question on everybody's mind right now," Conley said.
