Amid the brawl, Aqib's brother, Yaqub, pulled a gun out and shot Mike Hickmon, the coach of the South East Dallas Wolverines. Hickmon unfortunately passed away as a result. He was 43 years old at the time of his death.
Talib fled the scene, but on Monday, August 15, Yaqub turned himself in to the Dallas County jail.
