JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A former football player at the University of Central Florida was fatally shot during an altercation with his father & his mother was wounded.
Otis Anderson Jr. was killed late Monday during the argument with his father, Otis Anderson Sr., at his parents’ home in Jacksonville, Florida.
The fight started after the former running back’s father was bit by a dog belonging to Anderson’s girlfriend. Anderson got into a verbal fight with his 52-year-old father & his mother urged him to go back upstairs. Anderson’s father & mother than began arguing & the senior Anderson flipped over a recliner, causing Anderson to come back downstairs to check on his mother’s well-being.
Anderson then began arguing with his father. The part of the police report describing the shooting was blacked out, but it said Anderson had a gunshot wound to his chest & back. Anderson’s mother, Denise, was treated for graze wounds at a hospital.
Anderson’s father is facing charges of second-degree murder & attempted second-degree murder.
Anderson played for UCF from 2017 to 2020 & had 3,708 all-purpose yards and 27 touchdowns, the eighth-highest in the school’s record books.
In a tweet, University of Tennessee head football coach Josh Heupel, who coached Anderson at UCF, said he was “saddened & stunned” by his death.
“Tough & gritty, fun & full of laughter, he made such a positive impact on our university, community & our locker room,” Heupel said. “He was an unbelievable teammate.”
