Isidore Philip Tisson was shot in the head by an unknown gunman who approached from behind while he was sitting in the back seat of a car parked outside a shop in Brooklyn, the New York Daily News reports. Police are looking into whether Tisson was involved in an argument at a nearby nightclub where he had been out celebrating his team's 1-0 victory over St. Kitts in the Digicel Caribbean Cup tournament. The team's coach says there was no animosity at the game and the team plans to stay in the tournament to play Jamaica in the final next week. "We'll be playing for Phillip," the coach says. "That's what he would have wanted." Read These Next Sammy Davis Jr.'s ex, Swedish actor May Britt, is dead at 91. After Kennedy Center name change, holiday jazz concert is canceled.
