Andre Emmett, a star at Texas Tech under Bob Knight in the early 2000s and a standout in Ice Cube's Big3 this season, died on Sunday at age 37.

Dallas police issued a statement saying that Emmett was confronted by two men while sitting in his car in front of his house in Dallas. One of the men displayed a handgun, an altercation ensued and Emmett fled, but he was shot. According to police, a passerby found Emmett near his house and called 911. Emmett died at the hospital.

Witnesses saw two men get into a white Chrysler and flee the scene.

Emmett was a 6-foot-5 shooting guard who was named a consensus All-American in 2004 after averaging 20.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

Texas Tech also posted a tweet acknowledging Emmett's death.
