Travis Rudolph was found not guilty on murder charges stemming from a shooting death outside his home in Palm Beach County in Florida.

The former standout receiver at Florida State pled not guilty to one count of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder.

The shooting occurred on April 7, 2021, after Rudolph had a dispute with his girlfriend. A group of four people pulled up to his home in a black Cadillac to "talk with" Rudolph a few hours later, but that’s when witnesses allege a new fight broke out.
