FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (WKRN) – Titans’ guard Sebastian Tretola was shot early Sunday morning near the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville.
A family member confirms that Tretola was shot in the ankle during an altercation around 2 a.m. He was taken to Washington Regional Medical Center, treated and released.
Police are searching for the gunman.
The Titans sent News 2 this statement:
We are aware of the reports that Sebastian received treatment for a wound when he was grazed by a bullet. He has been released from the hospital and is thankful for only a minor injury.
Tretola was drafted by the team in 2016.
This is not the first time he’s made news off the field.
A Nashville man is suing Tretola and wide receiver Tajae Sharpe, claiming Sharpe beat him up while Tretola served as a lookout. The assault allegedly took place at the popular Nashville bar Tin Roof on April 27.
Dante Satterfield filed the lawsuit in Davidson County Circuit Court, claiming the brutal beating left him with a concussion and broken bones. He’s asking for $500,000 in damages.
