According to a statement from the Texans, Dell sustained a “minor wound” during the violence that took place at a private event in Sanford, Florida, about 40 miles south of Dell’s hometown, Daytona Beach. Dell received treatment at a local hospital and was subsequently released.
The team revealed they are in contact with Dell and his family and will provide further updates as appropriate. No details were released regarding the cause of the shooting or the suspect(s) involved.
