A former Husky who has seen his share of trouble with the
law wasn’t charged with firing shots near Seward Park,
according to police, but his car was at the scene.
Four to five bullets whizzed passed police when they first
noticed where they were coming from: Venoy Overton’s car,
a large purple Chevy sedan, known to police because of his
previous run-ins with the cops.
According to the Seattle PI, Overton wasn’t involved in
the shooting, but police believe they did come from his
car.
Overton was convicted of promoting
prostitution in the spring of 2011, and received 21
days in jail and nine days of community service.
When Overton was still playing basketball for the Huskies
he was suspended from the team after charges
surfaced that he supplied alcohol to minors.
Three people inside the vehicle were arrested and one
person was ultimately charged. Drevonn Andre Kelly, an 18-
year-old convicted felon, was booked into King County Jail
on unlawful gun possession.
