JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -An ex-convict accused of shooting and paralyzing Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Richard Collier is going on trial.

Jury selection will begin Monday in the trial on attempted murder and weapons charges against 33-year-old Tyrone Hartsfield.

The Jacksonville man is accused of shooting Collier 14 times in September 2008 as the player sat in an SUV. He and a teammate were waiting outside an apartment for two women they met at a nightclub.

Police say Hartsfield's motive was revenge. He and Collier allegedly got into a fight months earlier at a sports bar.

Collier was left paralyzed from the waist down and his lower left leg was amputated because of blood clots.

Hartsfield has denied any involvement in the incident.
