Memphis police charged three men with the murder of University of Memphis football player Taylor Bradford.

DaeShawn Tate, 21, Victor Trezevant, 21, and Courtney Washington, 22 have been charged with murder in perpetration of an attempted aggravated robbery.

The three suspects went to the Carpenter Complex, where Taylor lived, Sunday night with the specific intent to rob Bradford , police said. He was shot during the robbery attempt.

Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin said none of the three are students at U of M. The investigation, however, is ongoing, and may involve students, he said.

Homicide detectives developed at least one of the three as suspects last week. A Crime Stoppers tip aided in building the case.

Police said they expect to charge one other individual but would provide no other details.

Bradford, 21, crashed his vehicle at Central and Zach Curlin after being shot. He died a short time later at the Med. He still had $7,400 with him when he died.
