“He brought a gun to a fistfight”: Prosecutors detail how a long-running neighbor dispute ended in T.J. Cunningham’s death

0

On the morning of Feb. 17, Marcus Johnson and T.J. Cunningham agreed to meet at an empty Eaglecrest High School in Aurora to “box it out.”

It was the culmination of more than a year of disputes between the neighbors over parking and Airbnb rentals. Police were involved more than once.

At the school, the two walked toward one another, yelling expletives. When they were about five feet away, Johnson pulled out a gun and put a bullet between Cunningham’s eyes, another into his chest, according to testimony Friday during a preliminary hearing in Arapahoe County District Court.
