Jeff Randle El showed a lot of promise as a football player.

But after the team doctors took a look at RandleEl’s knee, the Chiefs released him.

He was shot and killed in the mid to late 80‘s on May 3rd in a Claremont California Alley. His shooter has since been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
