Former NBA star Adreian Payne has been shot dead in Orlando, Florida, aged just 31. Deputies with the Orange County Sheriff's Office were alerted of a shooting just after 6:00am BST (1:00am local time) on Monday.
Payne was found wounded, whilst the shooter - who has been identified by police as Lawrence Dority - remained at the scene. The authorities then transported Dority to Orange County Sheriff's Office headquarters where he was then interviewed by homicide detectives.
Dority has since been arrested on a warrant of first degree murder, and transported to Orange County jail following a statement.
