Police reported Mack appeared to have been shot. The road was roped off for hours Sunday morning as police investigated.
Mack's family says he had big dreams of playing college football in college. He was focused on the sport and stayed out of trouble, his family said.
“While most kids rather party, do drugs, stuff like that, he was working harder, trying to make it out,” said Rod Ludaway, Mack's cousin.
