Aqib Talib has decided to step aside from his broadcasting responsibilities with Amazon in light of the recent fatal shooting involving a youth football coach in Lancaster, Texas, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Talib’s decision comes after his older brother Yaqub Talib, who is a suspect in the shooting of Mike Hickmon, turned himself in to authorities Monday.
Witnesses told ESPN that Yaqub was seen taking out a gun and shooting Hickmon multiple times at a youth football game last Saturday after a dispute about the officiating led to a physical fight. Both Talib brothers are coaches for North Dallas United Bobcats, a youth football team, while Hickmon was a coach with the youth team D.E.A. Dragons, according to Dallas television station WFAA.
