Preston Malone, a sophomore and junior varsity football player at Lancaster Early College High School (part of Lancaster ISD in Texas), collapsed during an indoor football practice on Monday, August 18, 2025 due to what was determined to be heat stroke. ([CBS Texas]CBS News, [Houston Chronicle]Chron)
Certified athletic trainers responded immediately, following UIL (University Interscholastic League) heat safety protocols. Preston was placed in a cold-water immersion tub and transported to Children’s Medical Center. Although he initially seemed to stabilize, his condition rapidly deteriorated overnight, and he tragically passed away on Wednesday morning. ([Houston Chronicle]Chron, [Fox4]FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth)
Lancaster ISD has followed all safety guidelines—holding practice indoors, adjusting schedules, using hydration stations, and ensuring certified trainers were on hand. The district stated that its staff “responded immediately and with great care for our student.” ([CBS Texas]CBS News)
The sadness rippled through the community. All football-related activities—including practices and a scrimmage against North Forney High School scheduled for Thursday—were cancelled for the week, and grief counselors are being made available across the school district. ([CBS Texas]CBS News, [Houston Chronicle]Chron)
The severe Texas heat, with heat indices soaring to 105 °F, was a key factor—even though practice took place indoors. This incident underscores how dangerous heat-related illnesses can be, especially in youth sports. ([Houston Chronicle]Chron)
The tragedy has sparked discussion in the community—and increasingly, among school districts statewide—about the effectiveness of current heat safety protocols and how to further safeguard young athletes. ([BVM Sports]BVM Sports)

Ryan Michael Bate, 32, was arrested at the scene after bystanders persuaded him to surrender. He is currently held without bail on multiple charges, including:
Capital aggravated murder (two counts)
Attempted aggravated murder
Court and arrest records reveal a concerning pattern of domestic violence:
In May 2024, at the same residence, Bate was charged with aggravated assault and three counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child. He allegedly grabbed a woman by the throat, threw her onto a couch, broke a chair, and red marks were observed on her neck. Officers rated the situation as “high risk” in a lethality assessment.

That case was dismissed later in 2024—reportedly because the alleged victim chose not to testify. KSL.comkvnutalk.comFOX 13 News Utah (KSTU)
Additionally, in 2021, Bate faced misdemeanor domestic violence and assault charges in Tremonton, which were also dismissed under a plea agreement. KSL.comFOX 13 News Utah (KSTU)Wikipedia
Just prior to the shooting, Bate had reportedly assaulted his wife by slamming her head into a doorframe. KSL.comGephardt Daily
