DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - Dallas police are reviewing surveillance video from the condo of Andre Emmett.
Emmett, 37, was killed early Monday morning while he was sitting in a car outside his condo.
Emmett was the all-time leading scorer for Texas Tech men's basketball. He had been inducted into Texas Tech's Hall of Fame last year.
Police say Emmett was sitting in his car near his condo in Old East Dallas about 2:30 a.m. Monday. They say two men walked up, and the group started arguing.
Police say someone pulled a gun and shot Emmett. A passerby saw Emmett and called 911. He died at the hospital.
Emmett had two daughters, age two and three.
"They don't really know what's going on, but they were with him all the time," says Emmett's sister, Sasha. "He's going to be absent in their life, now."
His aunt, Karen Oliver-Thomas, says she had become Emmett's confidant, mentor and critic.
"When the coaches were recruiting him, he would not agree to sign on with Texas Tech until they physically came to my house to speak with me," she says.
Emmett played two seasons in the NBA, one for the New Jersey Nets and one for the Memphis Grizzlies. He had started a foundation in Dallas for kids from low-income families.
Police have not identified any suspects. Witnesses described one person as a tall, thin black male wearing a red hat. Witnesses say the two men got into a white Chrysler 300 and drove down N. Fitzhugh Avenue towards Ross Avenue.
"Whoever did this took a father away from us, a brother to me, a nephew, a friend, a son, a grandson," Sasha Emmett says. "He didn't deserve this."
