Unbeaten welterweight boxer Ed Brown, 25, died Yesterday following a shooting incident on Saturday in Chicago, Brown was undefeated in his 20 professional fights, His last fight was a decision victory over Albert Mensah on Nov 11th..
On Saturday, it was reported that an unknown suspect shot Brown and a 19-year-old woman, whilst they were in a stationary vehicle..   Police confirmed Brown was struck multiple times, including shots to the head, while the woman was shot in the left leg and only received minor injuries..
Brown had overcome tragedy before stepping in the ring for his first fight in December 2012. His mother had died during a stampede at a Chicago nightclub in 2003, and his father had began serving a prison sentence roughly a year later. Ed was also the victim in two separate shootings in 2012 and 2013.
Chicago police have yet to arrest a suspect or determine a motive for Saturday's shooting.
It's a sad loss to boxing, Brown was considered a rising star with an extremely bright future..
