The Miami Dolphins' wide receiver Tyreek Hill and his spouse had a domestic altercation on Monday; however, no charges have been brought against him, as reported.
The event occurred at the pair's condo in Sunny Isles Beach, situated slightly northeast of Miami.
Hill's mother-in-law allegedly contacted the police and subsequently informed the officers present at the scene that Hill had been confrontational, causing her to worry about her daughter's well-being.
Hill’s spouse, Lakeeta Vaccaro Hill, apparently stated that marital counseling was not proving effective, and she was in the midst of initiating divorce proceedings. The legal dissolution was filed on Tuesday, with Vaccaro Hill mentioning that their union has irreparably collapsed.
Tyreek Hill, aged 31, informed law enforcement officers on Monday that he attempted to discuss therapy with his spouse. He mentioned that the situation intensified when he was informed he wasn’t sufficiently engaged with their child.
On Wednesday, the Dolphins acknowledged the situation involving Hill.
On Monday, we learned that law enforcement responded to Tyreek Hill’s house. After speaking with Tyreek and some relatives, officers left the property without taking additional action, thus closing the case," stated the team. "Since then, we've communicated with both Tyreek and the NFL and won’t be providing any more comments on this issue.
Hill has had numerous issues away from the field throughout his career.
Last season, Hill had an encounter where he was forcibly removed from his vehicle during a traffic stop while heading to a Dolphins home game in September. Police behaved very aggressively throughout this event because Hill refused to comply with them. However, the resulting traffic tickets were eventually dropped.
During his time at Oklahoma State University, Hill admitted guilt in 2015 to charges of domestic assault and battery by strangulation for choking his pregnant girlfriend at the time. He was sentenced to three years' probation as a result.
In 2019, the Kansas City Chiefs suspended Hill for around three months after accusations surfaced of him allegedly mistreating his child. However, an NFL inquiry concluded that Hill did not breach the league’s personal conduct policy, so he faced no further penalties.
In 2024, Hill secured 81 receptions for 959 yards and scored six touchdowns across 17 matches – this represents his least productive full season since he started with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016. This drop-off followed two consecutive campaigns where he racked up over 1,700 receiving yards after joining the Miami Dolphins. It’s worth noting that Dolphins' quarterback Tua Tagovailoa only played in 11 games because of concussions and hip issues during this period.
Prior to the start of the 2024 season, Hill inked a three-year contract worth $90 million that extends until the end of the 2026 season. This agreement featured a signing bonus of $7 million and ensured $59 million was fully guaranteed. As one of the eight-time Pro Bowlers selected, he will account for $28.7 million of salary cap space in 2025 and his total cap hit reaches up to $51.9 million when this pact concludes in 2026.
Following the 2024 season, Hill first expressed his desire to depart from the Dolphins. However, he subsequently reversed his decision and is anticipated to remain with the team for the 2025 season.
In 141 regular-season contests, Hill has accumulated 798 receptions totaling 11,098 yards with 82 touchdowns.
