Ole Miss football player Corey Adams is killed in Tennessee shooting
Law enforcement officials found Adams with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle at an intersection in Cordova on the outskirts of Memphis late Saturday, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
"They provided life-saving measures until Shelby County Fire arrived," the sheriff's office said. "Shelby County Fire personnel later pronounced the victim deceased on the scene."
Four other men who suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds in the incident arrived at nearby hospitals in personal vehicles, authorities said.
Law enforcement officials have not named any suspects but said they are investigating the shooting as a homicide.
Adams, an 18-year-old New Orleans native, had been one of the top defensive linemen recruits in the country.
The football program at the University of Mississippi said in a social media post it was "devastated" to learn of Adams' death.
"While our program is trying to cope with this tragic loss, our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time," the team said. "We ask the Ole Miss community to keep Corey in their thoughts and respect the privacy of everyone involved."
Adams' former New Orleans high school football team, the Edna Karr Cougars, said in a Facebook post that "words can't describe this type of pain."
"Corey Adams was more than a football player! He was a friend, brother, son, student, and all around great young man," the team stated. "We never question God but this is one we just don't understand."

Budapest mayor says probe of banned Pride march sees him as a 'suspect'
BUDAPEST — The mayor of Budapest said on Thursday he had become a 'suspect' in a police investigation targeting the organizers of an LGBTQ rights rally that turned into an anti-government protest last month. Tens of thousands of protesters marched through Hungary's capital city on June 28 as a banned Pride march swelled into a mass anti-government demonstration in one of the biggest shows of opposition to nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban. 'I have become a suspect, and if in this country this is the price we have to pay for standing up for our own and others' freedom, then I am even proud of it,' Mayor Gergely Karacsony said in a post on his Facebook page. Police did not reply to emailed Reuters questions seeking comment. The mayor's office told Reuters that Karacsony would be questioned by police as a suspect next week. Orban's conservative nationalist government has gradually curtailed the rights of the LGBTQ community in the past decade, and lawmakers passed a law in March that allowed for the banning of Pride marches, citing the need to protect children. The mayor tried to circumvent the law by organizing Pride as a municipal event, which he said did not need a permit. Police, however, banned the event, arguing that it fell under the scope of the child protection law. Orban had warned of 'legal consequences' for organizing and attending the march. Police said earlier that they would not investigate those who attended the event. But there is an investigation under way against an unknown perpetrator, news site said on Thursday. Orban's critics have regarded the move to ban Pride as part of a wider crackdown on democratic freedoms ahead of an election next year when the Hungarian leader, whose Fidesz party has swept elections in the past 15 years, will face a strong opposition challenger.
