Joe Mixon, sister's boyfriend hold real guns outside home in new video of Nerf war gone awry
Video of the March 2023 shooting outside of Joe Mixon's home has emerged.
The footage shows a group of teenagers playing with NERF guns outside in the Cincinnati suburb.
In another angle, Mixon and his sister's boyfriend, Lamonte Brewer, are seen in the backyard with real guns in their hands.
Later, Brewer could be seen firing the gun, shooting a 16-year-old in the leg.
In an interview with investigators, Mixon said he was holding a weapon because his sister told him there were people outside with guns.
'She runs in screaming, telling the kids to get into the room and lock the door,' Mixon said, per FOX19 News in Cincinnati.
He added he was 'scared' after recently receiving threats stemming from a recent arrest.
'At one point, I was getting a lot of death threats and getting a lot of bomb threats on my home.'
The teenager, who suffered minor injuries, said he went into 'freak-out mode' after bullets suddenly flew toward him.
'I am running, feel something hit my foot. I hide behind a tree. I'm crunched down. I'm in a fetal position almost. I call my mom. I'm like, 'Is the front door unlocked?'' he said.
'…It's really frantic at first. I'm holding my foot because it's hurt, and I'm using words like shot and guns, and my brother's all like – it's just very frantic,' the teen added.
In February, Brewer, a convicted felon, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Mixon, who was with the Bengals at the time and now plays for the Texans, has not been charged in the case, but is being sued by the legal guardians of the teenager.
