Witnesses to the tragic shooting of a youth football coach in Texas over the weekend claim that former NFL player Aqib Talib started the fight that occurred just before the fatal shooting.
On Monday, Talib’s brother, Yaqub Salik Talib, turned himself in after police issued a warrant for his arrest in connection with the shooting. While it was known that Aqib Talib was present at the game and a witness to the shooting, witnesses tell Jason Whitlock of The Blaze that the former player was the prime instigator of the fight that happened before the shooting.
According to the witnesses, Aqib Talib financed one of the teams involved in the game and the event itself. The trouble began, witnesses claim, when the referees threw a flag on the team, Talib was paying for. “There was no problem between the coaches. We all know each other. Kerry Lewis and Yaqub have coached together. I followed Aqib’s whole career, starting at Kansas. The other thing is that it was their event. They were the hosts. They hired and paid the refs. The refs weren’t cheating for us,” the coach added.
