Former Florida State receiver Travis Rudolph’s father, Darryl, died in a shooting that investigators believe was accidental, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Monday.

The incident at Sugar D's Adult Cabaret, 704 S. Military Trail outside West Palm Beach was reported shortly before 9:30 a.m. Friday.

According to the sheriff's office, Darryl Rudolph, 55, was found with a gunshot wound to his back and neck area inside a back storage room at the club. He was taken to St. Mary Medical Center where he later died, the sheriff's office said.

Darryl Rudolph was at the club making some repairs to items and "the gunshot came from an adjacent room when another coworker was moving a firearm off of a shelf," the sheriff's office said.

The incident was not an intentional shooting and the investigation is continuing, officials said.

Family members started posting their condolences to the Facebook page of Linda Rudolph, Travis’ mother, on Saturday night.

The news comes the week of the 2017 NFL Draft, during which Travis Rudolph, who spent three seasons at FSU, hopes to be selected.
