Former NFL cornerback Aqib Talib was one of the defendants named in a lawsuit put forth by the family of youth football coach Michael Hickmon, who was allegedly shot and killed by Talib's brother, Yaqub, in August, according to the Dallas Morning News. Yaqub and Big XII Sports League and Family Services are also being sued.

The lawsuit alleged the 36-year-old Aqib Talib played a major role in igniting the brawl that led to Yaqub's alleged shooting of Hickmon. The lawsuit also claimed Big XII Sports League and Family Services failed to vet coaches and provide a safe and secure environment for its participants.

Yaqub, 39, voluntarily turned himself in to police custody Aug. 15, two days after the shooting occurred and one day after he was wanted as a suspect by the Lancaster Police Department. He was later indicted by a grand jury. Yaqub's attorney, Clark Birdsall, told the Dallas Morning News in September that Yaqub has a case for self-defense.

Birdsall added that the allegations against Aqib were “absolutely 100% hogwash.” Aqib has not been charged with anything since the incident but he left his broadcasting job at Amazon following his brother's arrest.
