Cap May Have Led To Former UK Player's Death

  • {Kentucky}...Friends of former University of Kentucky basketball player Desmond Allison, who was shot to death in Ohio Monday afternoon, say two women arguing over a baseball cap may have led to the killing. Malcolm Goff, 36, who was wounded during the shooting, and witness Tina Underwood, 31, told The Columbus Dispatch that Allison was talking on his cell phone outside an apartment complex when an ex-girlfriend took a cap off his head. Allison's current girlfriend, who'd given him the hat, saw what had happened and the two women began arguing. Goff and Underwood say Allison exchanged words with one of the women before he and Goff walked away. Later, three men approached Allison, and one of them, a relative of one of the women, argued with Allison, and another man began shooting. Columbus Police Det. Michael Higgins says police think the argument over the hat and the shooting are connected.
