Former NFL DB Devin Holland charged with murder
Devin Holland, 31, was arrested Wednesday in the shooting death of Timothy Pena during an apparent drug deal six years ago, Baton Rogue police said.
The Advocate reported that Holland played football for McNeese State University and Tulane University before signing a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he played in four games in 2011. He also signed with the Washington Redskins before being released in 2013.
Pena had a cellphone that included text messages that described a meeting for a suspected narcotics deal, according to booking documents. He died at a hospital after being found with a gunshot wound in the back of the head on Dec. 17, 2013.
