Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib is a “person of interest” in connection with a violent dispute in which his sister’s boyfriend was allegedly attacked and shot at, the Dallas Observer reported Monday.
According to police in the Dallas suburb of Garland, Talib was involved in a fight March 21 with his sister’s partner, Shannon Billings.
“The investigation is ongoing,” Garland Police Department administration supervisor Captain Patrick McCulley told the Dallas Observer. “But I can confirm that Mr. Talib is a person of interest in the case.”
The incident, according to police, stemmed from an argument at Talib’s sister Saran’s house between her and Billings. Saran Talib reportedly called her brother and mother for help during the alleged altercation.
Neighbors called 911 after hearing gunshots, and when police arrived they found Billings outside a residence in the area.
Billings was arrested in connection with two prior incidents involving Talib’s sister. He told officers he had been shot at during the latest bust-up.
Billings also alleged that Talib had tried to “strike him in the face” with a pistol.
Talib, 25, could face a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony, in addition to a misdemeanor gun charge, the Observer said.
