Darron Lee: Former NFL linebacker charged with murdering his girlfriend

Former NFL linebacker Darron Lee has been charged with murdering his girlfriend.

Lee - a first-round draft pick for the New York Jets in 2016 who last played in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills in 2020 - was taken into custody on Thursday.

He was subsequently charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence, and is now due in court on February 11.

Responders attempted to save a woman's life at the scene but she was pronounced dead.

Lee, 31, played three seasons for the Jets, starting 36 games, before being released in 2019 and joining the Kansas City Chiefs for a year.

He made two appearances for the Bills but has not played since, seeing no action during a spell with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021.

Lee was arrested for assault and domestic violence in 2023.
