It was an eventful Father’s Day for former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is currently a member of the Miami Dolphins.
According to Local 10 News in Miami, Florida, “Dolphins star Tyreek Hill is under investigation by the Miami-Dade Police Department.” Reporter Ian Margol first detailed the story on June 20.
“Local 10 News has learned the wide receiver allegedly hit a man working at Haulover Marina,” Margol wrote. Per Local 10 News, the incident occurred after a “Father’s Day celebration” on a boat with included Hill and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, as seen on social media.
“According to a tip received by Local 10 News, at around 6 p.m. Sunday, Hill got into some kind of disagreement with an employee of one of the charter companies based at Haulover Marina that apparently ended with Hill hitting the man,” Margol reported. “It’s unclear if the man was injured, but on Monday, Miami-Dade police were seen at the marina and on Tuesday, the department confirmed an investigation was underway involving Hill.”
Local 10 News concluded that “it’s unclear if Hill will face any criminal charges stemming from the incident” at the time of the initial report.

Hill also shared a photo holding a large fish, captioned: “Him ✌🏿.”
On Instagram, Rosenhaus dropped two video reels of himself swimming with and grabbing the caudal fin of a shark outside the boat. The first was captioned: “Went fishing with @cheetah and @blacktiph, @nflrecord. I decided to get up close to this Dusky Shark.”
“Don’t grab him Drew,” someone on the boat warns in the video, adding, “We don’t have good enough insurance for that.” After Rosenhaus grabs hold of the tail-end of the shark, the unknown speaker says, “OK, he grabbed him.”
