Former Miami Hurricane Brad Timpf Killed

Former Miami basketball player Brad Timpf was shot and killed outside a restaurant in N. Miami Beach on Sunday night. He was 32-years old.

Timpf was a reserve power forward at UM in the mid-1990s. After leaving The U, Timpf attended Life University School of Chiropractic in Georgia. These past few years he had worked at The Center for Natural Health in Coconut Creek.

As if 2006 hasn’t been bad enough for the Canes, this murder is the third tragic event in the past month for Miami.

Bryan Pata was murdered outside his apartment following football practice on November 7th. On November 25th, Miami basketball coach Frank Haith’s nephew Sean Bell was murdered by police in New York. Two weeks later, it’s Timpf.

Brad Timpf wasn’t a household name regarding former Hurricane athletes, but he was one of ours. He was a loyal customer and friend of allCanes.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.

  • R.I.P. Brad......
    Good thing Chris decided to tell the 'Cane Nation about this because you can bet your ass the media will ignore it. Hey it wasn't a Miami football player, he didn't have dreadlocks or a grill. He was a young white man murdered on the tough streets of South Florida. As you can see "media asses," it happens anywhere, to anyone. And it has nothing to do with the "U" !!!

  • Unbelievable loss for the Chiropractic world. I attended Life University with Brad. He was a wonderful guy, confident and smart. He never forgot where he came from and was proud of Miami.
