The father of former South Carolina standout Jadeveon Clowney has been arrested on attempted murder charges, according to The State.

The State reports that Clowney’s father, David Morgan, opened fire on an employee of the Crazy Horse club early this morning after being removed from sitting on a stage at the club. Morgan has a lengthy criminal history that dates back to 1987, having served 15 years in prison for burglary.

Clowney, the top overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft for the Houston Texans, has seen his pro career derailed by injuries after a stellar career with the Gamecocks. He’s currently on Houston’s inactive list.

Healthcare at College Park, a nursing home in Fulton County, GA, stands shuttered with its door chained on July 26, 2025, having closed in recent months. Researchers at Brown University developed a list of U.S. nursing homes they predicted were at risk of closing based on 2023 data, and would be at elevated risk of closing due to the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act's cuts to Medicaid. Healthcare at College Park was on their list. It survived past its last federal inspection in August of 2024 but has now closed down. The bill's biggest provisions will roll out over years starting Jan. 1. (Ariel Hart/AJC)
