"We have been made aware that Tank Dell was a
victim of a shooting in Sanford, Fla., last night," the Texans
said in a statement Sunday afternoon. "He sustained a minor
wound but has been released from the hospital and he is in good
spirits. We are in contact with him and his family and will
provide more updates when appropriate but we ask that you please
respect his privacy at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are
with everyone involved in the incident."
Dell was one of 10 people wounded in a shooting outside of a
nightclub, according to media reports from Florida. The Seminole
County Sheriff's Office said none of the victims' injuries are
life-threatening. A 16-year-old was arrested and charged with
attempted homicide and other charges.
The venue said in a Facebook post that it was rented out for a
private event Saturday night and the owners are still gathering
information.
Dell, 24, is a native of nearby Daytona Beach. He had a strong
rookie season in 2023, with 47 receptions for 709 yards and
seven touchdowns over his first 11 games (eight starts), but he
suffered a broken leg early in a Week 12 game against Denver and
missed the rest of the season.
