‘I’M GOING TO KILL YOU’

Victim’s Mother Rushes Simone Biles’ Brother in Courtroom After Murder Acquittal

Tevin Biles-Thomas was acquitted of 15 charges, including murder, stemming from a 2018 triple homicide.

Tevin Biles-Thomas, the brother of Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, was acquitted on Tuesday of 15 criminal charges, including murder, that stemmed from a triple homicide in 2018. In response to the ruling, the mother of one of the victims rushed at Biles-Thomas in the Ohio courtroom, yelling, “He killed my baby. You know he killed my baby. You have got to be f--king kidding me. I’m going to kill you.” A Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas judge had ruled that prosecutors did not have enough evidence to convict Biles-Thomas, 26, and the same judge had already declared a mistrial last month after jurors received briefs meant only for the case’s prosecutors and defense attorneys. The woman running at Biles-Thomas was identified as the mother of victim Delvante Johnson, 19. Biles-Thomas’ attorney Joseph Patituce said in a statement, “We don’t fault the victim’s family, this was a horrible event. We don’t fault the victim’s family for acting out.”
