Daughter of New York Jets hero Al Toon ‘is shot dead by her husband in front of their eight-month-old baby before he turned the gun on himself’
Molly Lillard, the daughter of New York Jets legend Al Toon, was shot dead next to her husband in an apparent murder-suicide.
Police believe Lillard’s husband, Royce Lillard III, 36, shot her before turning the gun on himself in their Scottsdale, Arizona, house on Sunday.
Their eight-month old baby was in the home but was not injured, police told the New York Post.
Royce barricaded himself inside the family home when police arrived. After an hours-long stand-off, SWAT entered to find him dead, near the body of his wife.
Toon, a wide receiver, made it to the Pro Bowl three times in eight years during his time with the Jets, after setting new records with the University of Wisconsin.
His daughter Molly took after her dad and became a standout volley player both at high school and the University of Michigan.
