Police believe that the 22-year-old running back was shot and killed while attempting to break into a Texas apartment.
A Howard University running back, who returned to his Texas home while on holiday break, was shot and killed along with an 18-year-old man after the two men and an accomplice reportedly attempted to rob an apartment.
According to the Denton Record-Chronicle, Howard running back Terrence Neal Tusan, 22; Jakobi Dmon Gipson, 18; and another man allegedly forced their way into a Denton, Texas, apartment Sunday. Although police did not say how the shooting began, it is believed that residents of the apartment opened fire on the young men, who were reportedly all wearing masks.
Gipson's body was found inside the apartment, according to the Denton Record-Chronicle, and Tusan's body was found outside near the apartment. A third suspect, who may have been injured in the shooting, remains at large.
Tusan's mother, Donna, told the newspaper that she and her son had watched the Dallas Cowboys beat the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and that after the game, he left to be with friends.
"He was very happy with his grades," she told the Record-Chronicle. "We were going to do some more Christmas shopping."
Clarence Nevels, a former coach, family friend and mentor to the Howard Bison running back, told the Record-Chronicle that Tusan was a "good kid."
"He had good grades and was just down at AT&T Stadium for Thanksgiving Day Madness Youth Football speaking to students about believing in themselves," Nevels said. He told the newspaper that the young man he had known for some 15 years didn't have a criminal history and wasn't associated with drugs.

and then he decided to put on a mask and "turn his life around"
You can take the boy out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the boy.
Damn good Texas-style shooting I might add! 2 for 2 and maybe another lying somewhere bleeding to death.
Just goes to show: It only takes one moment of stupidity to wreck what might have been a promising life. Sad, but predictable.
This "good kid" just happened to be in a place he didn't belong wearing a mask and having a gun. If he had been killed by a white cop, who subsequently was exonerated by a grand jury, all hell would have broken loose.
Oh my not more racism. When when when are we going to allow our black children to commit crimes in peace?
"Good kid" my ass. Good shooting citizen! Civilization thanks you (even though you need more range time...2/3 ain't bad).
Well, his mother said he had to do some more Christmas shopping. I think she misheard him...he probably said Christmas robbing.
“..attempting to break into a Texas apartment.”
It was a home invasion robbery and possibly more and the perps got inside. Glad the residents are safe.
Just what is it with black kids who seem to have it all, then their inner thug gets them killed? Was he ashamed of himself for “acting too white”? How is it their parents, friends and coaches are always fooled? Or is the definition of a “good kid” in black families one who hasn’t yet committed a capital offense?
GOOD for the shooter...ahhhhh but he was such a “good kid”.
What will zero and holder say about this, and, throw in that ba$tard mayor of NYC.
Will there be riots and businesses ravaged now, the creeps will go out and break windows for cigars and tv’s
There is no purpose, he's just another statistic who bought into the propaganda shoved down the throat of the black community everyday by Democrats.
The apartment they were invading was located in a student apartment complex. Guessing they may have known the person they were robbing or settling a personal beef.

This must be a mistake, he wasn’t like that.
That's not the boy we know.
He was a good boy.
He was turning his life around.
All the children and old ladies on the street loved him.
He was good to his momma.
/s
Uh, was he black? (Sarc)
at least we were spared "Turning his life around..."
Well, we can see how that worked out. Somebody needs to teach them about believing in and fearing God.
“Just what is it with black kids who seem to have it all, then their inner thug gets them killed? “
Yeah,,,, It’s sad. Cultural pressure?
At least nobody is going to accuse him of acting White.
Pray America is waking
