GREENSBORO, N.C. — A 20-year-old man has been arrested in Michigan and charged with first-degree murder in last month's fatal shooting of former Clemson receiver Diondre Overton. Jeremiah Diago Blanks is believed to have slain Overton at a gathering in the former player's hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina, last month. That's according to the Guilford County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Danny H. Rogers said in a statement Tuesday that detectives traveled to Michigan and got help from the U.S. Marshals Service in arresting Blanks. Police did not disclose further information about Blanks or a potential motive for the slaying.
