Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been suspended from all team activities after a domestic violence investigation involving him was reopened.OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Friday a local prosecutor has reopened a domestic violence investigation involving suspended wide receiver Tyreek Hill after a TV station broadcast audio in which Hill and his fiancée discuss injuries to their 3-year-old son.
Reid and general manager Brett Veach both declined comment about Hill’s case and potential next steps involving the two-time Pro Bowl pick. The prosecutor, Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe, did not return a message.
“I’m not going to have too much to add,” Veach said in response to multiple questions about Hill. “As I said yesterday, we’re going to continue to gather information, evaluate information and, as I said yesterday, we’ll make the right decision when the time is appropriate.”
Police were called to Hill’s home twice last month and determined the child had been injured. On Wednesday, Howe said he would not file charges against Hill or Espinal even though his office believed a crime had occurred. He said available evidence didn’t establish who had hurt the child.
“As a prosecutor, as a father of four, yes, it frustrates me when someone hurts a child and you can’t do anything about it,” Howe said then. “One of the elements of a crime is you have to prove who that person is who committed the act.”
