Bengals RB Joe Mixon won't be indicted, officials say

CINCINNATI -- Bengals running back Joe Mixon will not be indicted for a shooting that occurred near his home, local officials said Thursday.

Mixon's home was part of a crime scene investigation where a teenager was shot while playing "nerf wars," a game involving toy guns. County prosecutors allege that Lamonte Brewer, who is listed as the boyfriend of Mixon's sister, Shalonda, fired 11 bullets at the teenager, who is Mixon's neighbor.

Brewer was indicted on multiple felonies -- one count of assault, one count of tampering with evidence and two counts of having weapons under disability.
