TAMPA, Fla. — The murder trial of former Florida State standout receiver Travis Rudolph is scheduled to start Friday morning in Palm Beach County.
The case stems from an April 2021 shooting in Rudolph’s hometown of West Palm Beach. The incident began with a fight between Rudolph and his girlfriend, according to the initial probable cause affidavit. Things escalated when four men visited Rudolph’s home to confront him. Rudolph went into his home, returned with a gun and shot at them as they fled. One man was killed.
Rudolph was arrested later that day on one count of first-degree murder with a firearm and three counts of attempted first-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.
