Chiefs coach Andy Reid said at a news conference on Friday that the Johnson County District Attorney's office has reopened its criminal case into Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, ESPN reports.
The decision to reopen the investigation into Hill and his fiancée, Crystal Espinal, follows an audio recording released on Thursday by KCTV in Kansas City in which Espinal accused Hill of abusing their 3-year-old son.
On Wednesday, Johnson County District Attorney Stephen M. Howe had said charges would not be filed after police were called to Hill's home twice last month and investigators determined the child had been injured. Howe said he believed a crime had occurred but that the evidence didn't clearly establish who committed it.
Following the release of the audio on Thursday, the Chiefs announced that Hill had been barred indefinitely from all team activities.
"We were deeply disturbed by what we heard [on the recorded conversation]," general manager Brett Veach said Thursday. "We were deeply concerned. Now, obviously, we have great concern for Crystal. We are greatly concerned for Tyreek. But our main focus, our main concern, is with the young child."
