Wayde Sims, 20, was shot around 12:25 a.m., Baton Rouge police said in a news release.

Sims was later taken to the hospital and died from his wounds.

LSU President F King Alexander released a statement this morning saying, “To say we are greif stucken is an understatement, Wade was a beloved member of the LSU community whose leadership was treasured by his coach and teammates.”

LSU football says they plan to take a moment of silence before the Ole Miss game this Saturday.

If anyone has more information on the shooting they are urged to contact police.

Updates on the investigation are to follow once they have been released.
