Former San Diego Chargers wide receiver Mark Seay, wounded in a drive-by shooting nearly two decades ago, has reportedly lost a second brother to gun violence.
James Seay, 36, was found in the back yard of a San Bernardino home shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday, police Sgt. Mike Desrochers said. The victim had been shot several times and was pronounced dead at the scene.
No arrests were made and other details were not released.
A relative at the scene told The Sun newspaper that Seay was the younger brother of Mark Seay, although the county coroner's office said it could not immediately confirm that. Witnesses also told the Sun they saw two men running from the home.
