Former Buffs football player shot dead over parking dispute

Former Colorado Buffaloes football player Anthony “T.J.” Cunningham died on Monday afternoon due to complications from gunshot wounds he sustained on Sunday morning. He was 46 years old.

Cunningham, who served as an assistant principal at a local Aurora high school, was involved in what was called an “ongoing parking dispute” with a neighbor. Tensions escalated to the point where the two decided to meet up and settle it at the nearby Eaglecrest High School on Sunday.

The former Buffs defensive back was shot multiple times by his 31-year-old neighbor before his attacker fled the scene and called 911 to turn himself in.
