Musician shot early Monday morning.

The keyboard player for the band Eddie Brickell & New Bohemians died early Monday morning in Dallas, reports TMZ. Jeffrey Carter Albrecht may have alarmed the next-door neighbor of his girlfriend, who may have believed the musician to be a burglar when he attempted to kick in their door. It is unclear why 34-year-old Albrecht attempted to enter the residence of his girlfriend's neighbors. However, it is known that the keyboardist died from a bullet wound at the scene.

Police are investigating the death, and have not currently made any arrests. Albrecht's roommate and fellow band member, Danny Balis, could not explain his friend's actions, but gave an account of what he knew of the incident: "He was at his girlfriend's house last night. He left the house and went next door and-for whatever reason, which we don't know-he knocked on the neighbor's door. And from what I understand, he was persistent. I don't know if there was a verbal exchange, but the person panicked and fired a shot through the door."

Albrecht's career with the New Bohemians began in 1999. He has also played in the past with frontwoman Eddie Brickell's husband Paul Simon and musician Charlie Sexton.
