TACOMA, Wash.—Former NBA star Shawn Kemp was arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting in Tacoma, Washington. No one was injured.
Online jail records show Kemp was booked for investigation of felony drive-by shooting shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday.
A Pierce County Superior Court calendar showed that Kemp, 53, was scheduled to make a court appearance Thursday afternoon, though Adam Faber, a spokesman for the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office, said that would only occur if charges are filed.
No charges had been filed as of Thursday morning.
Kemp was a six-time NBA all-star and played for the Seattle SuperSonics from 1989 to 1997. He also played for Cleveland, Portland, and Orlando.
Kemp debuted in the NBA during the 1989–1990 season as a 20-year-old who had never played college basketball. He became known for his high-flying, athletic dunks.
