Former Ohio State running back Beanie Wells was a phenomenal player during his time at Ohio State from 2006-08.

He found out that his brother, Joel Wells, was shot to death in Akron, Ohio. The police have no suspects and Beanie Wells wanted to help further the case by adding a $15,000 incentive to finding the culprit:
