College basketball player Phil Urban was shot and killed in a white Mercedes-Benz stationed in a New Jersey nature preserve this weekend, reports The New York Post.

The 20-year-old, who played for Post University in Connecticut after attending the Pennington School in New Jersey, was shot around 7 p.m. on Saturday, authorities said. He was at the Hopewell Valley Nature Preserve.

Authorities have an open investigation and no arrests have been made.

Urban was a 6-foot-6 "skilled wing," as Post University put it. He recently joined their program this year, as the team welcomed him with a tweet. 

Urban was a Manalapan, New Jersey, native. He played in just two games for Post this season, coming off the bench as a reserve player.

"This kid has dealt with a lot of adversity in the last year and if I told you how he handled it, you’d be proud too!" an ex-coach tweeted about Urban when he committed to Post earlier this year.
