Former Buffalo State defensive end Malachi Capers is in critical condition after being shot in Queens, New York, on Monday, per WABC Buffalo.
The shooting occurred after a man appeared to start an argument with Capers inside a bodega which escalated to a physical altercation before Capers was shot by the man, identified by police as Jeffrey Thurston.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison tweeted a video of the shooting (warning: contains disturbing content).
Capers remains a student at Buffalo State, but injuries ended his football career after just one season.
