Why did Shevelle Hayes stab Geno Hayes?
Shevelle and Geno definitely seem to have had a great relationship, considering how long they have been together. But their relationship wasn't always smooth sailing. Back in 2009, when the couple was still dating, things got a bit out of hand during one of their arguments. The then 21-year-old Geno was reportedly stabbed on his head and neck by Shevelle. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's spokeswoman revealed at that time that Geno and Shevelle got into an argument, which led the 19-year-old to grab a pair of scissors and stab her boyfriend in the head. He reportedly managed to get the scissors away from her, but according to the authorities, she then grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the neck. Shevelle was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Jail records revealed that she was released shortly on $25,000 bail.
Geno was diagnosed with liver disease two years ago. In an interview with ESPN reported Jenna Laine he shared, "The first diagnosis they gave me was alcoholic cirrhosis.
“But when we dug in deeper, it became just chronic liver disease, because I don’t drink like that. If I did drink, it was just like wine or something like that. But my body is made different. And that’s what [my doctor] said — ‘Everybody’s made different.'” In December 2020, the player was transferred into hospice care and put on a waiting list for liver transplant.
