The Houston Texans shocked the NFL world on Sunday when they announced wide receiver Tank Dell was wounded in a shooting in Florida.

Sunday, the team shared on social media that the Texans wideout was shot yesterday night in Sanford, Florida, which is close to Orlando. The Texans report that Dell was discharged from the hospital and is doing well. Additionally, they stated that they communicate with Dell and his family.

In the aftermath, a 16-year-old boy has been arrested following that mass shooting. He has been arrested and placed in a juvenile detention center.

“The shooter, identified Sunday afternoon as Christopher Bouie Jr., was booked into a juvenile detention center, the sheriff’s office said,” Click Orlando reports.

“Of the ten victims who arrived at the hospital with gunshot wounds from the incident, several have indicated they wish to prosecute, the report states.”

It was unclear if Dell’s injuries had anything to do with the incident that occurred outside the Sanford party location that same evening, where authorities reported that a teenager opened fire during a private celebration, wounding ten individuals. The Texans star wideout was not involved in the altercation at Cabana Live and was caught in the cross-fire.

Tank Dell, who played in college at the University of Houston, had an outstanding NFL rookie campaign with the Houston Texans despite it being cut short by injury.

Dell is coming off a rookie season where he had 709 receiving yards and seven touchdowns for the Texans. His numbers should’ve been better, but he sustained a broken fibula during the Texans’ Week 13 victory over the Denver Broncos, which required season-ending surgery on Dec. 4th.

Dell expects to resume on-field workouts soon and has no doubts about his status for training camp in July and should be 100% by the time the Texans take the field of the 2024 season.
