Two days after the shooting, Yaqub surrendered himself at the\u00a0Dallas County Jail on Monday and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HowertonNews\/status\/1559713018669371393\">is now facing murder charges.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, a new video surfaced showing another angle of the confrontation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rlopezwfaa?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@rlopezwfaa<\/a> obtained video that shows exactly what happened before youth football coach Mike Hickmon was shot and killed at a peewee game Saturday.<br><br>Witnesses say you can see him arguing with retired NFL player Aqib Talib before shots are fired.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1K7XNxPdiL\">https:\/\/t.co\/1K7XNxPdiL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Matt Howerton (@HowertonNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HowertonNews\/status\/1559713015037140993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 17, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfaa.com\/article\/news\/local\/witnesses-say-aqib-talib-started-brawl-led-to-fatal-shooting-of-youth-coach\/287-e313872d-e507-4064-9652-1ea858f6a0d4\">Witnesses told Rebecca Lopez of WFAA<\/a> that it was Aqib who actually started the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coach Heith Mayes witnessed what happened and told Lopez what he saw.<\/p><div id=\"first-1836384417\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dHe ran across the field and ran over on our sideline and got in the ref&#8217;s face,\u201d said Mayes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Witnesses said Aqib was upset about the referees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He threw the first punch, and you see Mike [Hickmon] trying to defend himself,&#8221; said Mayes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WFAA states that in the arrest affidavit, police stated the argument was over the score of the game but doesn&#8217;t list who started the fight. <\/p><div id=\"first-3737100667\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/new-video-witnesses-say-ex-nfl-cb-aqib-talib-started-fight-that-led-to-brother-allegedly-shooting-youth-coach-212658211.html\">witnesses are making it clear<\/a> that Aqib was the instigator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aqib&#8217;s lawyer released a statement confirming that his client was there and is &#8220;very distraught and devastated.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Aqib Talib was present when this unfortunate incident occurred and is very distraught and devastated over this terrible loss of life.

It&#8217;s akin to saying that no matter the situation, circumstance, or casualties, all bets are off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gone are calm, rational thinking, turning the other cheek or being the bigger person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At that moment, it&#8217;s about proving who has the bigger mouth and bigger muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s when it all goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Talib brothers are no strangers to confrontation or those inflammatory three words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WFAA reports that they have been investigated for multiple shootings, including a 2016 incident where Dallas police think Aqib Talib was shot at a strip club. A year prior, the Talib brothers were investigated after they were involved in a fight before a gun was fired inside of a Dallas club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the brothers weren&#8217;t the shooters in those incidents, they were present and directly involved in one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Saturday in Lancaster, they watched children playing a game that both brothers grew up in, Aqib ultimately making it his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And once again, both brothers felt the need to &#8220;keep it real,&#8221; this time over the score of a youth football game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would think that Aqib&#8217;s celebrity would temper his reactions. He&#8217;s a former NFL player, 5x Pro Bowler, Super Bowl winner and part of Amazon&#8217;s NFL coverage this upcoming season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He could easily have recognized his position and let it go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all, it was a youth football game where parents and children are supposed to celebrate and cheer for the players. It wasn&#8217;t about the adults or their egos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But unfortunately, that&#8217;s what it became.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based upon a new video and witness statements, the melee ignited because Aqib Talib &#8220;kept it real&#8221;, made it about his feelings and got involved when there was no reason to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both brothers could have walked away angry, but without harm or incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coach wasn&#8217;t threatening them with a weapon. Even if he were a bad coach, his performance doesn&#8217;t mandate a death sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, the Talib brothers chose confrontation over perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now an innocent man is gone and lives are forever changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All because of three words. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understand that I&#8217;m not trying to be funny or humorously connect the fatal shooting incident involving the Talib brothers to the Dave Chappelle skit.
