Additional information will not be released until completion of this investigation. This death is under investigation by the Champaign Police Department and the Champaign County Coroner’s Office," the report stated.

Griffin has two sons. In a story with WDJT-TV (Channel 58), Riggs stated the father was Alan Griffin.

Alan Griffin, who played on the Bucks' Summer League team, was on the men's basketball team at the University of Illinois in Champaign from 2018-2020 before transferring to Syracuse. Alan's younger brother, A.J., plays for the Atlanta Hawks.
