Oklahoma City guard Dion Waiters’ brother was reportedly one of six people who were murdered in a series of stabbings and shootings in Philadelphia.

According to FOX 29, a man randomly stabbed three people on Tuesday afternoon. Several hours later, gunfire broke out and left a 21-year-old man dead and another critically injured. Four more men were killed in shootings over the course of the rest of the day. Police are unsure if the murders, which took place in different neighborhoods, are related.

Steve Keeley of FOX 29 reports that Waiters’ brother was among the deceased. That explains these emotional Instagram posts from the former Syracuse star:
