Chinedu Onyeuku was a Nigerian professional basketball player with the ABA team Arlington Bulldogs.

After a successful College career, Onyeuku spent one year playing professional basketball in Germany for Bayern Munich before returning to the United States.

On 21 November 2012 the 29-year-old Onyeuku — once a star at Omaha Creighton Prep —died when a homeowner shot at two men trying to break into his Plano, Tex., house.

According to a court document filed last week, Valentine told the probation officer that he “went to Plano, Texas, and his intention was to do a home invasion — the plan was to rob a known drug dealer.” “Subsequently, a homicide took place,” according to the court document filed by prosecutor Bill Ouren.

If convicted of the probation violation, he would face up to five years in prison — the maximum sentence on his original drug dealing charge.
