Rondale Moore, 25, died on Saturday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, said New Albany Police Chief Todd Bailey, who told multiple local media outlets that Moore’s body was found in a garage. An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday, per WLKY-TV. Moore was born and grew up in New Albany, Indiana.
The former star wide receiver at Purdue signed with theMinnesota Vikings in 2025 but suffered a season-ending knee injury during the year’s first preseason game. Moore spent his first three seasons with theArizona Cardinals, which selected him with the No. 49 overall pick in the 2021NFL Draft, before moving to theAtlanta Falcons, where he also suffered a preseason knee injury that prevented him from playing in 2024.
