Joe Mixon Faces Lawsuit Over Shooting in His Backyard in March

Bengals running back Joe Mixon is facing a lawsuit stemming from the shooting that occurred in his backyard in March, ESPN’s Ben Baby reports.

During the incident, a teenage boy was shot in the foot on neighboring property that belonged to Mixon. Baby reports that the teenager’s mother is seeking damages from both Mixon and Lamonte Brewer, the boyfriend of Mixon’s sister, for the incident.

In March, a boy was shot while playing a game called “dart wars” with other children, involving toy guns with foam bullets. Around 8:30 p.m., 11 shots were fired from Mixon’s home, one of which struck the victim in the foot.
