Ole Miss freshman edge rusher Corey Adams was shot and killed in Cordova, Tenn., late Saturday night. He was 18.

The Shelby County Sheriff's Office said Sunday that it was investigating a shooting that occurred outside of a residence around 10:14 p.m. on Saturday night. Five men were shot, with four of the victims listed in non-critical condition.

Deputies performed life-saving measures on Adams, until Shelby County Fire personnel arrived and pronounced him deceased on the scene. There is now an active homicide investigation into the case.

'We're heartbroken by the passing of Corey Adams. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him,' Ole Miss wrote in a social media post.

The program shared a statement on his passing below that.

'We are devastated to learn that Corey Adams, a freshman on the team, passed away last night in Cordova, Tennessee. While our program is trying to cope with his tragic loss, our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,' the statement read. 'Out of respect for his family, we will not be commenting further at this time. We ask the Ole Miss community to keep Corey in their thoughts and respect the privacy of everyone involved.'

Adams was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2025 and played high school football at Edna Karr in New Orleans.
