A college football player is facing serious charges after a verbal argument turned extremely deadly and it led to a fatal triple shooting at a Miami Gardens hotel, according to NBC Miami.
19-year-old Jeremiah Trevon Harris is facing a second-degree murder charge and two attempted second-degree murder charges. The report says the football player for ASA College got into an argument with a teammate at practice.
The argument continued to get out of hand and ended in the shooting at a hotel, where the college houses student athletes.
“The arrest report said surveillance footage showed the three victims going to Harris’ hotel room, where words were exchanged and Harris pulled out a handgun and opened fire.
Three victims, all 19 years old, were wounded in the shooting. Harris’ teammate was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The other two suffered non-life threatening injuries.”
Friends have identified the deceased teammate as Fred Killings. The report added that Harris left the gun in the bathroom and then told a coach he had shot the three victims.
Harris later told detectives that “he observed one of the victims move aggressively towards him, and he became afraid and shot,” the report said.

Tangela Sears, a family friend of Killings, said the teen’s father was killed in a shooting.
“Fred don’t like guns,” said Sears. “Fred’s father was killed by a gun. And Fred don’t like guns. Because he knows what it does. He knows that it took the most important man out of his life.”
“God knows he didn’t deserve this,” Sears said. “He didn’t deserve this. He’s in school. He’s in college. He’s with the coaches. He’s under their supervision. What happened?”
