Former New York Giants and Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph was found not guilty Wednesday on four charges from a 2021 shooting that left a man dead following a confrontation in front his Florida home.
Rudolph, who was signed as an undrafted free agent out of college and spent the 2017 season with the Giants, faced one count of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder.
He was acquitted by a jury of peers after claiming the shooting was in self defense. Two men were shot and one, Sebastien Jean-Jacques, was killed in the incident in Lake Park, Florida.
The shooting on April 7, 2021 came after an altercation between Rudolph and his then-girlfriend Dominique Jones. Not long after, Rudolph was confronted at his house by four men.
