RB Shot In Arm, Former New York Jets and Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson was reportedly injured in a drive by shooting early Sunday morning that killed one.
The NFL player was riding in the passenger's seat during the 4am shooting in his hometown of Orlando, according to police.
Johnson, 29, is in stable condition at a local hospital after being shot in the shoulder but the Jeep's driver, Dreekius Oricko Johnson, 28, was killed.
Reggie Johnson, 29, was also riding in the car and was injured in the shoulder, hand and leg.
The Johnsons said that an unidentified vehicle pulled alongside them when they were stopped at a red light and opened fire at 4.09am.
Police arrived at the intersection of Southland Boulevard and South Orange Blossom Trail where the shooting took place.
The relationship between the Johnsons was not provided by police.
Chris Johnson was arrested in Orlando in January for second degree misdemeanor open carrying of firearms, a Glock 9 mm and an FN 5.7 mm, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Police say the investigation into Saturday night's incident is ongoing and is being called a homicide, but no arrests have been made, according to ESPN.
The running back posted a picture on Instagram in the hours before he was shot, saying that he was getting ready for a show by his friend, a rapper who was performing at LUX in downtown Orlando.
Johnson is set to become a free agent on Tuesday after ending his contract with the Jets.
His former team declined to pick up its option for the player after a frustrating season with below average carry and yardage totals.
