Anthony Domonique Lennon made a positive impact and was a valuable leader during his time as a part of the East Carolina University Pirate defense, according to the university and his former coach.
On Saturday, his family, former teammates, friends, high school and university were mourning his loss and offering condolences to his family. His high school teammates set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a college fund for his son.
Lennon, 24, of Suffolk, Va., was killed in a shooting behind a popular Caribbean restaurant, Bahama Breeze, on Wake Forest Road in Raleigh Friday night.
