Du'Vonta Lampkin is being remembered by his former Oklahoma Sooners team as a 'joy to be around.' He died Thursday night.

DALLAS, Texas -- A Houston-area high school football star who went on to play for the Oklahoma Sooners and had a short stint in the NFL was shot and killed in downtown Dallas.

According to investigators, a witness called for help after finding the 25-year-old with a single gunshot wound. First responders arrived and Lampkin was pronounced dead at the scene. Lampkin was a defensive star at Cy-Falls High School. He originally signed to play at University of Texas, before he later transferred to University of Oklahoma.

For years, Doug Smith has invested his time in Houston-area student-athletes, teaching them about football and about life. He worked with Du'Vonta and currently trains his younger brother, Eddie. Smith says he's heard from several coaches since Du'Vonta's death.
