"In shock, really," high school coach DeEddie Sanders said. "[We were] pretty close. He loved track. He was a good guy, never got in trouble."
Martin set the Michigan long jump record (26 feet, 6 inches) in high school before earning a full scholarship to Michigan State. He competed in the long jump and 60-meter and 200-meter sprint events during his freshman year with the Spartans.
"We send our condolences to the family and friends on the passing of Tony Martin," Michigan State said in a statement.
Per Petzold, the Saginaw Police Department major crimes unit is investigating the shooting as a double homicide.
