Nathan Demian, a junior defender for Ohio State's men's soccer team, was shot early Sunday near the university's campus in Columbus, Ohio.
Police reported the incident occurred during a car chase between two vehicles, with shots fired from one vehicle toward the other.
Demian, a native of Vancouver, British Columbia, was not involved in the altercation and was confirmed to be an innocent bystander.
