Yaqub Talib, the brother of former NFL cornerback<\/a> Aqib Talib, has been sentenced to 37 years in prison.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talib previously pleaded guilty<\/a> in the shooting death of 43-year-old Michael Hickmon, a youth football coach in Texas.<\/p>\n

In August 2022, police said witnesses saw Talib pull out a gun and repeatedly shoot Hickmon during a brawl among adults at a youth football game in the Dallas suburb of Lancaster. Police said a dispute between opposing coaching staffs over a referee’s call led to a fight.<\/p>\n

But an official with one of the teams later said the incident began when Hickmon went to pick up a football and someone kicked it away.<\/p>\n

According to The Dallas Morning News, the sons of both Talib brothers played on one of the teams, and Hickmon’s son played on the other.<\/p>\n

EX-NFL STAR AQIB TALIB, BROTHER, YOUTH SPORTS LEAGUE FACE WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT FROM FAMILY OF LATE COACH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Yaqub left the field following the shooting and later turned himself in to police<\/a>. His attorney said at the time that his client “regrets the tragic loss of life” but was surrendering to “have the chance to say his side of the story.”<\/p>\n

Hickmon\u2019s family filed a lawsuit<\/a> against the Talib brothers and Big XII Youth Sports League and Family Services. The suit is seeking more than $1 million in damages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aqib Talib did not face any criminal charges and appeared in court for his brother’s sentencing.<\/p>\n

Aqib played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams during his 12-year NFL career. Tampa Bay drafted him in the first round in 2008. The five-time Pro Bowler announced his retirement in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, he was named a contributor for Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” but left the role following the shooting.<\/p>\n

After the sentencing, some members of the Hickmon family and friends addressed Yaqub.<\/p>\n

Hickmon’s wife, Kenyetta Hickmon, spoke about how the fatal shooting altered her life as she navigates the challenges that come along with raising three children alone.<\/p>\n

“What do you tell a 9-year-old who watched a person gunned down who they thought was the strongest person in the world?” she said, via FOX 4 News Dallas-Forth Worth.<\/p>\n

Kenyetta also told Yaqub about how his actions impacted other children.<\/p>\n

“You killed innocence, hopes, dreams. Not just my kids, but 30-40 other little kids there,” she said.<\/p>\n

Michael’s friend, Reginald Oldman, described the late football coach as someone he could always rely on.<\/p>\n

“He was one of the only guys I knew going into college that had a father who lived at home with him,” Oldman said. “So, he had this strength that a lot of us didn’t have. He walked with his head tall.”<\/p>\n
