LAWRENCE -- Former Kansas basketball player Sean Tunstall, part of the 1991 Jayhawk team that went to the Final Four, was shot and killed Thursday in St. Louis in a parking lot of a recreation center.
Tunstall, a reserve guard on the Jayhawk team that also was that year's Big Eight co-champion, was shot just before 5 p.m., St. Louis police said. Another person was injured in the shooting. Police declined to identify that victim, but said his injuries were serious but not life-threatening. Police were releasing no other information Thursday night.
Tunstall lettered in the 1991 season, averaging 5.7 points a game. In the NCAA Southeast Regional semifinals, he scored 15 points against Indiana. He scored 11 points, including a key 3-pointer down the stretch, against Arkansas in the regional final.
Kansas later lost to Duke in the national championship game, which was Tunstall's last game with the Jayhawks. In October of that year, Tunstall was suspended for violations of the team and departmental policies. Coach Roy Williams never reinstated him.
In March 1993, Tunstall pleaded guilty to one count of selling cocaine, and received a three- to 10-year prison sentence.
He had played basketball for Vashon High in St. Louis. He only played the one year for Kansas.
