Story summary

On October 14, 2026, a Miami-Dade County jury found NFL star Tyreek Hill liable for two counts of battery against his estranged wife Lakeeta Vaccaro and awarded her $500,000 in compensatory damages. The incidents occurred on January 11, 2024, and April 7, 2025, in their Sunny Isle, Florida condominium. Hill was found not liable for eight other counts, including assault and domestic violence. His legal team stated that he was pleased with the results of the trial, while Vaccaro had alleged multiple instances of physical abuse during her pregnancy in 2024. The verdict does not include punitive damages sought by Vaccaro but falls short of expectations she may have had entering the trial. Hill's status remains under review by the NFL due to their Personal Conduct Policy.
