Houston Woman With Ties To The Family Who Owns San Antonio Spurs Isn’t Facing Charges for Shooting Black Man She Was Allegedly In a Relationship With
“Clearly this wasn’t some Black guy who just came up and stayed there,” said Wiggins. “This was somebody who actually lived there, who’s actually in a relationship with this young lady.” On the night of the shooting, police got two phone calls in a period of three minutes, from someone asking for help with a disgruntle houseguest.
“Officers arrived on-scene three minutes from the original call and discovered an injured person in the front of the residence,” said a statement sent to homeowners in the neighborhood.
According to investigators, Gobert and Sikes got into a physical altercation after she asked him to leave. Law enforcement officials say Gobert left the residence, but came back and Sikes to the ground.
A security footage captured Gobert leaving the home, then returning. Police claim he proceeded to leave but when he turned back toward Sikes she got up and shot him. Footage shows Gobert stumbling out of the home. When police came to scene they found Gobert outside of the home, injured. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police questioned Sikes and did not arrest her. She is not yet facing any charges and the case is being referred to a grand jury.
Defense attorney Stephen Aslett told the news station that the castle doctrine can’t be applied to the case.
“Castle doctrine is typically when someone breaks into your house,” Aslett said. “A stranger-breaking-into-the house-in-the-middle-of-the-night type of situation.”
The attorney noted that whatever transpired in the home was not captured on camera.
“Finding out exactly what their relationship was — had they acted aggressively before?” Aslett said. “Were there ongoing issues between them? What did she initially tell the police? Did her story change? Did it make any sense? What, if any, physical evidence is in the house to suggest she feared for her life?”
Sikes is a part of a prominent San Antonio family. Her mom, Julianna Holt, was the chairwoman of the San Antonio Spurs from 2016 to 2019, and her brother, Peter J. Holt, is the current chairman of the Spurs organization.
