Simone Biles: 'My Heart Aches' After Brother Tevin Charged with Murder

Superstar gymnast Simone Biles commented publicly Monday for the first time since her brother, Tevin Biles-Thomas, was arrested Thursday on multiple murder charges.

Biles released the following statement on Twitter:

According to Caitlin O'Kane of CBS News, three people were shot and killed at a New Year's Eve party in Cleveland and several others were wounded. Delvante Johnson and Toshaun Banks died at the scene, while Devaughn Gibson was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Per CNN's Melissa Alonso and Doug Criss, Biles-Thomas has officially been charged with murder, voluntary manslaughter, felonious assault and perjury.

As of Friday, Biles-Thomas was being held at Liberty County Jail in Liberty County, Georgia, without bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Sept. 13 in Ohio.

The 24-year-old Biles-Thomas is the older brother of Biles, who is 22.

Biles is among the most successful and decorated gymnasts of all time. In addition to being a four-time all-round world champion, she is a five-time Olympic medalist.

At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Biles took gold in the team event, all-around, vault and floor exercise and won bronze in the balance beam.

Biles is a heavy favorite to win her fifth all-around gold at the world championships in Germany in October, and she is expected to bring home another significant medal haul from the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo.
