Professional soccer player Anton Walkes was killed in a boating crash in Miami, authorities said Thursday. His MLS team Charlotte FC confirmed the 25-year-old defender's death in a statement.
"We are deeply saddened to share that Anton Walkes has tragically passed away this morning," the club announced. "May he rest in peace."
Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said officers responded to a two-vessel accident near the Miami Marine Stadium basin on Wednesday afternoon. Walkes was identified as one of the operators of the boats, FWC said, and he was found unconscious.
