Arrest made in Auburn football player's death by Milan Hamilton

Police have arrested Markale Deandra Hart, 22, in connection with the shooting death of a freshman Auburn University football player, the Auburn Police Division said in a news release Sunday. The Camp Hill man is being charged with murder in the death of 18-year-old Jakell Mitchell of Opelika, Alabama, police say. "An investigation into the shooting was immediately initiated by the Auburn Police Division and as a result, Hart was developed as a suspect," the statement said. "Auburn Detectives traveled to Dadeville and with the assistance of the Tallapoosa County Sheriff Department and Jackson Gap Police, were able to locate Hart and take him into custody." Dadeville, Alabama, is about 30 miles northwest of Auburn and Opelika. Hart was taken to Lee County Jail and is being held on a $150,000 bond. No more arrests are expected, police said. Mitchell was shot and killed at an off-campus apartment complex overnight, police said Sunday. Mitchell was a freshman football player, according to news website AL.com. He had signed with Auburn this year but sat the season out to gain weight and train for next year, AL.com reported. He had played high school football in nearby Opelika.

This is so sad and it makes you wonder about the motives of these things. Why do people wish to kill other people? It's so heart breaking and my prayers go out to his family. This is an example if a future that could have prospered if it wasn't first diminished. When I hear about such tragedies as these it reminds me of the innocent hurting that has gone on in history many times to Native Americans and slaves.
