Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is facing a civil lawsuit regarding the shooting of his teenage neighbor. According to court records filed in Hamilton County earlier this week, the teenage boy's family is seeking damages from Mixon and Lamonte Brewer after the boy was shot in the right foot by Brewer while standing in Mixon's backyard.

Mixon was not charged and never considered a suspect, Hamilton County prosecutor Melissa Powers said in March when Brewer was charged. However, in the lawsuit filed on Thursday, the family claims that Mixon supplied the bullets and Zavasta M92 gun that was matched to the weapon used in the shooting.
