On January 12, 2020, Shea Briar, 31, was found critically injured on a road in Indiana, later dying from a gunshot wound to the heart. His former fiancée, E.J. Stephen, and her assistant coach, Shelby Hiestand, were implicated in his murder following a series of conversations where Stephen expressed a desire to eliminate Briar, who sought visitation rights for their daughter. After initially denying involvement, both women confessed, with Stephen blaming Hiestand during her trial. The case is detailed in “Coached to Kill,” airing January 3, 2026, on CBS.
