Jabari Henley, brother of Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley, was shot dead in South Los Angeles.
Daiyan Henley's father, Eugene "Big U" Henley, a music executive who has worked with notable artists such as Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, and the late Nipsey Hussle, was recently incarcerated on federal charges. The charges allege that he used his anti-gang nonprofit as a cover for a "Mafia-like" criminal enterprise.
Despite the tragedy, Daiyan Henley played in the Chargers' game against the Tennessee Titans, contributing seven tackles and a quarterback hit. After the game, he emotionally expressed his grief, stating that it had been "a long year" and that he wished he could talk to his brother "one more time."
