Via TMZ Sports:
Caldwell’s mother tells us … Reche — real name Donald Caldwell — was getting ready to take his girlfriend out on a date when he went back inside his home to grab a jacket.
Reche’s GF says the former player was “ambushed” by a “couple of people” who jumped out of bushes trying to rob him.
We’re told Reche was shot in the leg and chest — and someone called 911.
Unfortunately, the injuries were so severe, Caldwell’s mother tells us Reche died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
“He was a good person who smiled all of the time,” Deborah Caldwell tells us.
“He tried to help everyone he could. He was the type of guy who would take his shirt off his back and give it to you.”
This is some really sad news, especially for the family. It just goes to show you never really know when your time is up.
