Teshaun Hightower was arrested on Saturday and charged with murder.

Tulane announced Sunday afternoon that Hightower had been dismissed from the team following his arrest. Hightower declared for the draft on April 18th. Hightower averaged 15.9 points and 4.6 rebounds in his only season with the Green Wave.

A Henry County Police incident report indicated the shooting occurred at an apartment complex just before 11 a.m. ET on April 8. Devante Anthony Long was shot and later died at a hospital. He was 24.

Wow, statement from his lawyer is that his brother fired the shot to protect him. The victim was going to shoot Hightower.

If Teshaun wasn't the one who fired the shot, this could actually be some lawsuit level stuff.

If they are lucky. Police arrest you. Judge decides your bail amount. His family likely can't afford bail for two people. If he wasn't a draft prospect, he would sit there till his case is dropped or he goes to court and is proven innocent. Could be over a year for a murder case.
