Alex Foster, an 18-year-old defensive lineman for the Baylor University football team, died early on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

He was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside a car in his hometown of Greenville, Mississippi. Police had responded to reports of a shooting shortly after midnight. Foster was taken to a hospital where he died about 30 to 40 minutes later.

His death was part of what Greenville Mayor Errick D. Simmons described as a "surge in violent crimes" in the city, which led to the implementation of a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

Baylor University's athletic director, Mack Rhoades, and head coach Dave Aranda released a joint statement expressing their heartbreak and focusing on supporting Alex's family and teammates. Foster had redshirted last season and had participated in spring practices, with expectations to play a role in the upcoming 2025 season.

As of now, no arrests have been made, and police are seeking information related to the shooting.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
