Report: Son of former NFL player found dead in upstate NY

WATERVLIET, N.Y. - A man slain in an upstate New York apartment last week was the son of a former NFL player.

The Times Union of Albany reports 29-year-old Brandon Sherwin was the son of Tim Sherwin, a tight end who spent most of his career with the Baltimore and Indianapolis Colts from 1981-87.

Police in Watervliet, just north of Albany, say they were called late Friday night to a two-family house for a report shots fired. When officers arrived on the scene a man had barricaded himself inside the house.

Officials say after a standoff that lasted into early Saturday morning, 49-year-old Michael Fox was taken into custody. Brandon Sherwin was found dead in Fox's apartment.

Fox was charged with second-degree murder. He was in jail Monday. It wasn't known if Fox had a lawyer who could comment on the charges.
