Olympic Sprinter Shavez Hart, also known as Sparkie, was tragically shot and killed after trying to break up a fight outside of a nightclub in the Bahamas on Saturday. He was 29 years old.

According to the Royal Bahamas Police, the incident happened in Mount Hope, North Abaco (about 120 miles north of Nassau) around 2 AM.

The police report states that a group of males got into an altercation. One of the men left and came back with a gun and started shooting. One of the bullets hit Hart in the chest.

Hart was transported to Marsh Harbour Clinic, where he was pronounced dead.

Police says a suspect has been arrested and the investigation is ongoing.

The Bahamas Olympic Committee released a statement.

“The Olympic family is saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Shavez Hart, a proud native of Abaco.”

They added, “He was always very humble, yet proud and determined to offer the very best of himself for the sake of country.”

Hart was the third fastest Bahamian sprinter of all time in the 100m dash, and won a silver medal. He was also a Texas A&M track star—winning several competitions, including the gold in the 4x400m relay at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championship and the 100m at the 2015 SEC Outdoor Championship.

Sending condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace Sparkie.
