The story behind Deion Sanders' son going bankrupt

Shilo Sanders has filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay $11.89 million in a lawsuit. The incident that led to this financial downfall dates back to 2015 at Focus Academies Triple A Academy.

The trouble began when Shilo, then a high schooler, made an out-of-hours phone call. Security guard Josh Darjean attempted to enforce the school's no-phone policy, which led to a confrontation.

According to court documents, Shilo attacked Darjean, elbowing him in the chest and continuing to strike him after he fell. Darjean was hospitalized with severe injuries, including a broken neck and permanent neurological damage.

Deion Sanders, the school's CEO at the time, intervened via phone, instructing Darjean to confiscate Shilo's phone, which intensified the situation.

"You're my brother in Christ," Deion Sanders said as per court documents. "I need you to go get the phone. As soon as you get the phone from him, give me a call back."

In 2022, a state court found Shilo Sanders guilty of assault and battery against Darjean. This ruling resulted in a hefty financial penalty, pushing Shilo into bankruptcy.
