Simone Biles' Brother Tevin Acquitted of All Charges in 2018 Triple-Homicide Trial

The brother of U.S. gymnast and four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, Tevin Biles-Thomas, was acquitted on all charges stemming from a 2018 triple homicide, per Doha Madini of NBC News.

Biles-Thomas was facing 15 charges, including murder, voluntary manslaughter and felonious assault, after being accused of killing 19-year-old Delvante Johnson, 21-year-old Toshaun Banks and 23-year-old Devaughn Gibson at a 2018 New Year's Eve party.

Gibson was Biles-Thomas' cousin.

“I mean it can't be forgotten that Tevin not only has suffered through two and a half years of defending himself, but he also lost a loved one, too,” Joseph Patituce, one of Biles-Thomas' defense attorneys, said after the charges were dismissed.
