Rams WR Stedman Bailey in critical but stable condition
St. Louis Rams third-year wide receiver Stedman Bailey is in critical but stable condition after being shot in a car Tuesday night, the City of Miami Gardens Police Department said Wednesday.
Police did not describe the nature of Bailey's injuries, but a source confirmed to ESPN's Josina Anderson that he was shot twice in the head.
Bailey, 25, is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday at Aventura Hospital Trauma Center in Aventura, Florida. A Rams source told ESPN's Nick Wagoner that the team believes Bailey's injuries are not life-threatening.
Bailey's cousin, Antwan Reeves, also was shot and was taken into surgery on Tuesday night, according to police, who said two minors also were in the car when another vehicle drove by and fired shots.
Reeves, who was the driver of the vehicle Bailey was in, was shot multiple times while attempting to shield the children in the car from bullets, the source told Anderson, and his wounds are more serious.
The children in the car were unharmed, police said.
Police said the incident took place at 8:45 p.m. at a Miami Gardens residence and they are looking for a light-colored, four-door sedan, which is possibly a Buick Regal.
The Rams released a statement Tuesday night saying they were aware of the incident but did not release details of what happened.
"We are aware Stedman Bailey was involved in an incident this evening," the Rams said. "We have spoken with Stedman and he is in the hospital in critical, but stable, condition. We are gathering facts about the situation and will provide updates as we learn more."
Bailey's hometown is Miramar, Florida, which is approximately 7 miles away from Miami Gardens.
