The older brother of former NFL star Aqib Talib turned himself in on Monday after being named the suspect in a Dallas-area deadly taking pictures over the weekend, police stated.
Yaqub Salik Talib, 39, turned himself in to the Dallas County Jail after a first-degree felony homicide warrant was issued on Sunday, the Lancaster Police Department stated.
Police recognized the sufferer as Michael Hickman in Monday’s announcement, saying the taking pictures occurred Saturday on the Lancaster Community Park throughout a dispute between the teaching staffs of two youth soccer groups.
“The altercation became physical leading to the suspect pulling out a firearm and shooting Mr. Hickman multiple times,” the Lancaster Police Department stated Monday.
“At this time no other injuries have been reported. After the shooting, the suspect fled the scene in an unidentified vehicle, taking the firearm with him.”
Police stated Sunday that the sufferer died a neighborhood hospital.
“The circumstances leading up to the murder of Michael Hickman are still under investigation,” police stated Monday. “Several witnesses and children were present during the incident. Investigators are working to identify and question all involved.”
Lancaster is about 16 miles south of downtown Dallas. The Talib brothers spent a part of their childhoods within the Dallas space.
Aqib Talib, 36, performed 12 seasons as a cornerback within the NFL, suiting up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams. The five-time Pro Bowl choice gained a Super Bowl with Denver in 2015, and recorded 35 interceptions in his profession, together with 10 that he returned for a landing.
The retired athlete, who’s now an analyst for Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football,” was on the Lancaster Community Park when the incident occurred Saturday, his legal professional informed TMZ.
“Aqib was present when this unfortunate incident occurred and is very distraught and devastated over this terrible loss of life,” the legal professional stated. “He would like to convey his condolences to the family of the victim and to everyone who witnessed this unfortunate tragedy.”
