Former Michigan basketball player Kendric Price died from a gunshot wound early Saturday morning in Boston, according to WFXT-TV in Boston.

Police were called around 3 a.m. after a person was shot on Greenwood Street in Dorchester, a neighborhood in Boston. According to WFXT, officers found a man shot who was then pronounced dead at the scene.

That man was Price, who was in Michigan's 2005 recruiting class. The 6-foot-8 Price attended Buckingham Browne & Nichols High School and, according to his U-M athletics profile, was an accomplished jazz pianist and jazz and choir singer.

WCVB-TV in Boston reports that Price was 32 years old and was an assistant coach on the University of Massachusetts-Boston men's basketball team.

WCVB published a statement from the university, which read in part: "Kendric was a great young coach who worked with our men’s basketball program. We are all saddened by the tragic news of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kendric's family."

Price played just one season at U-M, 2006-07, after redshirting as a freshman. That year, he averaged 1.1 points and 0.9 rebounds in eight games off the bench. The Wolverines went 22-13 that season and reached the second round of the NIT.

Following that season, U-M fired Tommy Amaker and hired John Beilein. Price left the team in October 2007, though the school honored his scholarship for the 2007-08 academic year. He gradutated from U-M in 2008.

WFXT reports that no arrests have been made in connection to the shooting.
