Former high school basketball star Darius Lee was killed in a New York City shooting that left at least eight others injured late Sunday night.

It is unclear whether the victims participated in the fight or were caught in a crossfire, according to ABC 7.
The shooting occurred at East 139th Street and 5th Ave. Five of the victims were transported to hospitals by police, while four others arrived by private means, police said.
