An arrest has been made following the shooting of a youth football coach.
TRIB Live reports that Anthony Lamont Hines, Jr. was arrested on Sunday for allegedly shooting the coach during a practice while the children looked on.
Witnesses told police that Hines, whose nephew plays on the East End Raiders youth football team, had caused trouble at previous practices. They said “Uncle Tone” approached the coach about 7 p.m. Friday and began shooting. The suspect continued firing as he chased the coach across the field and stood over him, firing shots as he crawled along the ground attempting to avoid the gunfire, according to the warrant.
Hines faces charges of aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, as well as firearms violations and a violation of an active PFA, according to investigators. The coach, who has not been identified, is in stable conditions after suffering wounds to the upper chest and left forearm.
