By Adam Spencer
Published:
On Saturday morning, LSU RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire and walk-on Jared Small were involved in a fatal shooting, with a man killed in the backseat of a vehicle.
Both players were brought in by police and questioned, but were never arrested and have been cooperating with an investigation centered around whether or not their actions were in self-defense.
Now, it appears they have been released, with Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger reporting the news on Saturday night:

Sources confirmed they were RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire & walk-on Jared Small.

This investigation is far from over, it sounds like, but for now Edwards-Helaire and Small have been released and aren’t being charged.
We’ll update when more information becomes available.
