AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn tight end Jakell Mitchell was in an argument with a man when a third person pulled a gun and shot the redshirt freshman at an off-campus party Sunday morning, Mitchell's girlfriend told the Associated Press.
Mitchell, 18, died from multiple gunshot wounds shortly after midnight Sunday at the Tiger Lodge apartment complex.
Ayanna Hughuley, 17, said Mitchell was in the middle of an argument with a man in the parking lot when a third man pulled a gun early Sunday, according to the AP.
"He just started shooting. Jakell fell on the ground and he tried to get back up and run, and then he fell again. He started shooting at Jakell again while Jakell was on the ground," Hughuley told the AP.

Police arrested Markale Deanda Hart, 22, of Camp Hill at 10:45 a.m. in Dadeville and charged him with murder. Police said in a statement they do not expect more arrests, but their investigation will continue.
Hughuley told the AP she doesn't believe Mitchell knew Hart. She was also not aware who started the argument. Police have not shared a possible motive in the murder.
Two residents at the Tiger Lodge complex said they heard at least six gun shots after midnight as a party raged in an adjacent building and in the parking lot, where one bystander told AL.com up to 100 people scattered as the gun fire split the night air.
"I heard people running down the stairs and then lights everywhere," said George Morgan, 38, who lives in the complex. "It was like cockroaches when the lights come on."
