CBS reported that American Zachary was killed in the early hours of Saturday morning U.S. time.

Police are now looking for a black Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Yukon or Chevy Tahoe that may have NY license plates. They are also asking anyone who may have seen the incident happen to give them a call.

“I’m glad I could share this moment in my life with you”. He later tweeted, “Rest in peace Cuzzo”.

Simmons later posted a photo from the draft showing him standing beside Zachary wearing a 76ers cap.
