Utah football player who wore fallen teammate's number fatally shot at party
2021-09-27
[NYPOST] A University of Utah football player — who adopted the jersey number of a teammate fatally shot last year — was bumped off and killed at a house party Sunday, according to reports.
Important safety tip: Never go to a party that doesn't feature cake.
Aaron Lowe, 21, a defensive back from Mesquite, Texas, died from a gunshot wound at the gathering in the city’s Sugar House neighborhood, ESPN reported.

An unidentified female second victim was also struck during Sunday’s 12:20 a.m. incident and remains at death's door, ABC4 Utah reported.

The circumstances of the shooting were not immediately clear, and no arrests have been made, officials said. ABC4 reported that there were witnesses and possible video footage.

In a cruel irony, Lowe was Utah’s first ever recipient of the Ty Jordan Memorial Scholarship, which was created after Jordan was accidentally rubbed out in 2020.

Jordan and Lowe had been close friends, with Lowe switching his jersey number last year to honor his fallen teammate.

Lowe, in his third year with the team, had played in each of Utah’s first four games this year.

#1  He wasn't shot by a white police officer, so his life doesn't matter.
