WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Former Florida State star football player Travis Rudolph was arrested early Wednesday morning in South Florida for a shooting that left one man dead and another wounded, authorities said.
Rudolph, 25, was charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office news release.
Deputies responded shortly after midnight to a double shooting in the Lake Park area, officials said. One man was transported to a local hospital for treatment, while the other was found dead a short distance to the south in West Palm Beach, authorities said.
He’s been charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, according to the same report.
Obviously, Rudolph has every right to be presumed innocent until proven otherwise in court, but this is an incredibly serious situation.
He’s facing a murder charge and a second charge of attempted murder. Those are the kinds of charges that can get you locked up for life.
