The brother of Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles has been arrested on Aug. 29 for allegedly killing three men on New Year's Eve on Dec. 31, 2018, when a fight broke out between two groups.
Delvante Johnson, 19, Toshaun Banks, 21, and Devaughn Gibson, 23, died of multiple gunshot wounds.
Sports star Simone Biles, the brother of the only man charged in the case in question, wrote a statement 4 days after her brother's arrest.
She wrote, "Still having a hard time processing last weeks news."
"My heart aches for everyone involved, especially for the victims and their families. There is nothing that I can say that will heal anyone's pain, but I do want to express my sincere condolences to everyone affected by this terrible tragedy," wrote Biles, "I ask everyone to please respect my family's privacy as we deal with our pain."
Biles-Thomas was on active duty in the U.S. Army and is being held at a Georgia jail, CBS reported.
"The relentless persistence of Cleveland police homicide detectives helped secure an indictment in this case," Cuyahoga County prosecutor Michael O'Malley said. "It is through their hard work that we can begin to seek justice for these victims."
Biles-Thomas is going to be arraigned on Sep. 13.
Simone and her younger sister were later taken in by their grandfather and his wife who eventually adopted and raised them in Houston, where the Olympic gold medalist currently resides.
Tevin and the other sibling were taken into another household and were raised in Cleveland.
