Tracy Walker knew Ahmaud Arbrey his entire life. Which makes his cousin's death back in February even harder.

The Lions safety told ESPN that he watched the video showing two men killing Arbrey as he jogged through his neighborhood, "no exaggeration, over 100 times."

Calling Arbrey a "beautiful soul," Walker continued, "He did not deserve that. And, you know, God has a plan for everybody, man, but, you know, it's tough. It is. That's why I watched it so many times. I couldn't grasp it. It's such a gruesome video, you want to know why."

Growing up, the pair lived across the street from each other, were teammates at Brunswick High School, and even hung out to watch the Super Bowl just weeks before the shooting.
