Former linebacker due in court on 11 February
Former New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee has been charged with murder on Thursday after the death of his girlfriend.
Lee was arrested and taken into custody in Hamilton County, Tennessee, after deputies were called to a medical emergency where first responders were giving a woman CPR at a residence in Ooltewah. The medics were unable to save her, and WTVC NewsChannel 9 reported she had suffered a suspected stab wound as well as other injuries.
The name of the woman, who was Lee’s girlfriend, has not been released and local police said her death was being treated as a homicide. Lee was also charged with tampering with evidence. WTVC reported that an affidavit said there was evidence that blood had been cleaned from several areas around the home.
