PHILADELPHIA - A cousin of Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace was killed and a police officer was wounded in a shootout authorities said occurred after an undercover drug buy.
Tyree Wallace, 22, was pronounced dead at Albert Einstein Medical Center. Sgt. Mike Mitc , 41, was in stable condition Friday with a groin wound.
Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek confirmed that Tyree Wallace was Rasheed Wallace's first cousin. Dobek said it was unclear whether Wallace would play in Friday night's home game against the Golden State Warriors, but said he did not participate in the team's shootaround Friday morning.
On Thursday night, Mitc was in an unmarked police car when an undercover officer bought drugs from Tyree Wallace before identifying himself, Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said.
Mitc then saw Wallace pull a gun. The officer jumped out of his vehicle and ran toward Wallace, Johnson said.
"(Wallace) was fired on in response to him drawing a gun on police," Capt. Benjamin Naish said at a news conference Friday. It wasn't immediately known who fired the fatal shots. Several other officers were at the scene.
Tyree Wallace was enrolled as a student at suburban Arcadia University, where he had been on the basketball team but was not on the roster this year, university spokeswoman Lori Bauer said Friday.
Mayor John Street said he visited Mitc in the hospital and the officer was smiling and talking.
"It looks like he will be able to return to active duty," Street said.

Rashweed.
Feel bad for Rasheed and his family. Hope they can find some comfort somewhere.
Kid sounds like he had a lot going for him too. Sucks.
sounds like an idiot to me. He probably wouldn't even have gotten jail time for the drugs. He had to be hard-assed and pull a gun....now he's dead.
Condolences go out to Rasheed and the family, but the kid got what he asked for.
I agree.^
Idiot. Serves him right for pulling a gun on a cop.
will Rasheed play on sunday?
lol, is that all you care about?
Probably, since he played tonight.
Don't know. He was supposed to be 50-50 for tonights game, but ended up playing. I haven't heard anything about services being planned yet.....but I imagine they won't be held till a couple of days after X-mas.
We'll see, but I think he'll be there.
He'll play. He, more than anyone wants revenge.

first thign i thought also.
funny thing is he was probably just a low time dealer trying to be cool and then felt he had to act hard. but what an idiot. like police are goin to do undercover busts and only have one cop around. that chode got regulated upon. feel sorry for the family though.
I knew Rasheed was involved with drugs.....
First Tony Dungy's child, now Rasheed's cousin
Back when he was a JAIL-BLAZER in Portland, he was...but it makes you wonder, was his cousin his dealer?
Anywho, my condolences go out to Rasheed and his family.
A street dealer doesn't sound like a dealer who would have a multi-milionaire backing him up. No, it seems more likely he was caught up in the environment he grew up, and wasn't smart enough to let it go once he got to college. Or maybe he had visions of being a kingpin.
