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." - Dallas
