Ohio State Football Player’s Mother Killed in Chicago Shooting

It’s truly heartbreaking to share the devastating news that the mother of a talented football player from Ohio State University was tragically killed in a drive-by shooting over the weekend.

The player in question is Carnell Tate, a highly skilled wide receiver who is considered one of the best in the Big Ten conference. His mother, Ashley Griggs, was the unfortunate victim of this senseless act of violence.

Reports indicate that the shooting took place in Chicago’s Garfield Park neighborhood early Sunday morning. Sadly, Ashley Griggs lost her life, and four other people were injured in the incident as per confirmed by Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Thankfully, the injured individuals are in stable condition. The authorities are still working to identify the shooter, but according to a witness, the shots were fired from a car. The news was originally reported by ABC 7 Chicago.

Ashley Griggs was not only a loving mother but also actively involved in her son’s recruitment process. Although Carnell Tate attended high school in Florida, he originally hails from Chicago. He is highly regarded for his skills on the football field, having been recognized as a top-level recruit during his time at IMG Academy.

During this incredibly difficult time, our thoughts and prayers go out to Carnell Tate, his loved ones, and all those affected by this tragic loss.
