Joiner’s wife, Heyzel Obando, was found dead in her home in February 2016. It wasn’t until two months after her body was discovered that police ruled her death a homicide, and it wasn’t until yesterday that an arrest was made in the case. Joiner has been charged with second-degree murder. The News-Press reports that Joiner had previously been arrested twice on domestic violence charges.
Joiner played for the Gators from 2004-2007, during Urban Meyer’s tenure as head coach. He played in 47 games as a defensive back, including the 2006 national championship against Ohio State. He was the captain of the 2007 team, which also featured Aaron Hernandez.
