A woman who was killed in a drive-by shooting over the weekend has been identified as the mother of an Ohio State football player.

According to WGN 9 in Chicago, a 41-year-old woman was shot and killed in a drive-by in the city at around 2 a.m. Sunday morning. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office later identified the victim as Ashley Griggs. Community activist Andrew Holmes said Griggs is the mother of Ohio State freshman wide receiver Carnell Tate.
