Ex-NFL Linebacker Darron Lee Indicted for Girlfriend’s Murder
Former NFL linebacker Darron Lee has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend, 29-year-old Gabriella Perpetuo. A Hamilton County grand jury returned the indictment on June 9 after prosecutors dropped an evidence tampering count to focus solely on the murder charge. Lee, who played for the New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, remains jailed without bond. Investigators say Perpetuo was found dead in her Tennessee home in February with multiple blunt force injuries, fractures and wounds. Lee was arrested on February 6 and allegedly searched online for medical advice to conceal her injuries. The ex-linebacker faces life imprisonment or the death penalty if convicted. His next court appearance is set for June 17.
