DALLAS — Nickey Van Exel, son of former Dallas Mavericks player Nick Van Exel, was arrested Wednesday night in connection with a recent murder.
Bradley Bassey Eyo, 23, was found shot to death near Lake Ray Hubbard the day after Christmas. Investigators determined he was murdered at a Garland home in the 6900 block of George Brown Drive and his body later dumped at the lake, less than a mile away. Police said 20-year-old Nickey Van Exel turned himself in Wednesday and confessed to the crime. He's a neighbor of the victim.
The younger Van Exel's attorney says his client told police he killed Eyo, a close friend, when a shotgun they were playing with accidently went off and later "panicked" and moved the body. He is being held at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center on $1 million bond.
