New Orleans Pelicans rookie Bryce Dejean-Jones was fatally shot after breaking down the door to a Dallas apartment, authorities said Saturday.

Officers were called early Saturday and found the 23-year-old player collapsed in an outdoor passageway, Senior Cpl. DeMarquis Black said in a statement. Dejean-Jones was taken to a hospital where he died.

A person living at the apartment was sleeping when he heard his front door kicked open, Black said. The man retrieved a handgun and fired when Dejean-Jones began kicking the bedroom door.

Dejean-Jones was from Los Angeles and it wasn't immediately clear why he was in Dallas.

"We are devastated at the loss of this young man's life (and) who had such a promising future ahead of him," the Pelicans said in a statement.

In his only NBA season, which ended in February because of a broken right wrist, the 6-foot-6 guard started 11 of 14 games and averaged 5.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.

He was part of the 2014-15 Iowa State team that went 25-9, captured a Big 12 title and made a fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. He was fourth on the team in scoring, averaging 10.5 points in 33 games. He shot a career-best 47.6 percent in his lone season as a Cyclone. He also played at Southern California and UNLV.

"This is a very, very sad and tragic day for everyone that's a part of the Cyclone basketball family," Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.

Former Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg added in a statement that Dejean-Jones was a "passionate and talented player that lived out his dream of playing in the NBA through hard work and perseverance."

The NBA issued the following statement: "The NBA family mourns the tragic loss of New Orleans Pelicans guard Bryce Dejean-Jones. Bryce inspired countless people with his hard work and perseverance on his journey to the NBA, and he had a bright future in our league. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Bryce's family and the entire Pelicans organization during this difficult time."

História meio bizarra. Parece que ele queria entrar no apartamento da namorada, errou o andar, entrou (invadiu) o apartamento de outro cara, que com medo, acabou atirando no BDJ.

Triste, ele veio bem no Pelicans, já tinha conseguido um contrato, parecia ter potencial para ser um bom role player.

Que Descanse em Paz.

Bizarra mesmo, morrer por errar o apartamento. Era ex-jogador do Hoiberg que treina o Bulls. Pior que era nascido, criado e morava em Los Angeles, fez faculdade em Iowa e jogava por New Orleans, mas foi morrer num bairro random em Dallas.

Por isso que porte de arma é controverso, por outro lado vc na sua casa e entra alguém do nada, complicado.

Não dá pra culpar quem atirou. Tem um cara tentando arrebentar sua porta e você nada?

Cu do cara que atirou também devia estar muito na mão no momento.
