Minnesota Twins Hold Pregame Moment of Silence for Late Khyree Jackson


The Minnesota Twins honored Khyree Jackson, a rookie cornerback for the state’s Vikings football team, after his death on Saturday, July 6

“We are devastated by the news of Khyree Jackson’s death following an overnight car accident,” the Vikings said in a Saturday, July 6, social media statement. Maryland State Police confirmed to Us Weekly later on Saturday that Jackson, as well as high school teammates Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr., had died after their vehicle collided with two other cars in Upper Marlboro. O’Connell continued, “In our short time together, it was evident that Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him.”
