Gunfire after Sunday's NFL game between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers has resulted in a second death. Police Chief James White announced on Monday that a second person died the day after the incident.

The fight occurred at a popular fan gathering spot about a mile and a half from the stadium. "I don't know all the details, but any time someone loses their life, it's a tragic incident," Lions coach Dan Campbell said the day after the loss to the Bucs.

Pass receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's team lost 16-20 on Sunday afternoon, and two shots were fired shortly afterward following an argument, according to reports. A suspect has been arrested. The victims are Detroit men, one in his forties, one in his twenties, police said.
