Family of youth football coach killed sues sports organization, Aqib Talib and brother
accused Big XII Sports League and Family Services of failing to vet coaches and provide a safe environment and adequate security.. Talib’s brother, Yaqub Talib is accused of shooting 43-year-old Hickmon at the game in Lancaster.Filed by Hickmon’s wife, daughter and parents, the lawsuit details how a tension-filled game for 9-year-olds erupted into violence.
Hickmon walked from the visitor sideline to retrieve his son’s football, which had been used as the game ball, according to the lawsuit. Aqib Talib then confronted Hickmon and punched him, causing Hickmon to backpedal to extricate himself from the confrontation, the lawsuit says. Hickmon got back to his feet, and Yaqub Talib pulled out a handgun, the lawsuit says, firing about five shots from a few feet away. Hickmon died later that evening at Methodist Central Hospital in Dallas.Kyle Findley, an attorney for the family, said both league officials and coaches named in the lawsuit failed to “hold themselves to the standards our community would want.”
“People involved in youth sports should be upstanding role models,” Findley said. “Obviously in this tragedy, that did not happen.” Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib takes off his helmet during the first half of an NFL football game against the Indianapolis Colts, Sunday, Nov. 8, 2015, Indianapolis.
