Anthony Augusta Cannon Jr., 34, was shot and killed during a domestic dispute at a residence on Genesee Street in Saginaw, Michigan, on March 5, 2018. Known to family as Lil Ant, Kunta, and The Black Man, he was a former professional boxer who won the Middleweight Golden Gloves State Championship in 2004 and boxed professionally until 2009. He was also active in motorcycle clubs, including Gorilla Unlimited and previously Ruff Ryders, and had an interest in African literature and history.
