ROSEVILLE, Mich.-- A former Indianapolis Colts running back died Tuesday after a gun in his car was accidentally discharged.

Tipton pulled into the service bay at a Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership in Roseville, Michigan around 9:30 a.m., according to WJBK.

He went to take a duffel bag out of the trunk of his vehicle, and one of the two guns inside the bag reportedly went off. He was struck in the stomach. Tipton was taken to the hospital in good condition, but later died. He was 26 years old.

No other injuries were reported.

On December 25, 2015, Tipton was arrested in Greenwood on charges of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon after he reportedly went to his girlfriend’s home and shot a round from a Colt AR-15 into the house.

Tipton was signed by the Colts after going undrafted in the 2014 NFL draft. He was waived by the Colts on December 21, 2015.

Indianapolis Colts players and team owner Jim Irsay shared their condolences on social media:

Rest in peace, Zurlon. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Tipton family. — Jim Irsay (@JimIrsay) June 28, 2016
