Subject: Damien Covington, Former Bills Linebacker

Author: New Jersey

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: December 01, 2002 2:14:58 EDT Damien Covington, a former linebacker for the Buffalo Bills, was shot to death by robbers Friday night during a party at an apartment. Covington tried to fight off an assailant before being shot several times, Bill Shralow, a spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, said Saturday. Investigators believe the gunmen were ``looking for something of value inside the apartment. They're not sure what,'' Shralow told the Courier-Post of Cherry Hill. The 29-year-old Covington, who died at the scene, did not live at the apartment, Shralow said. Gunmen also shot at a second person at the party, but the bullets missed. The suspects fled and police have not released descriptions. Covington, a star linebacker in the early '90s at North Carolina State, spent the 1995 and 1996 seasons with the Bills. His career was cut short in 1997 by a knee injury. Covington was an All South Jersey sports star at Overbrook High School. He recently returned to his home state from Maryland. A message to a Bills spokesman was not immediately returned Saturday night. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
