On Season 7 of Basketball Wives, while Evelyn Lozada gets emotional during her trip to Puerto Rico, and Tami Roman now wants to delay marrying her longtime boyfriend Reggie, Malaysia Pargo has a heart-to-heart with her son Jannero. “I don’t think Mommy ever really told you what happened to Uncle Dontae,” she starts. On New Year’s Eve 2013, Malaysia’s brother, Dontae Daevon Lewis Hayes, was fatally shot during an armed confrontation with Riverside, California police. He was 20. According to Riverside Police Department, Hayes pulled a gun on an officer who was trying to arrest him on a felony warrant. Hayes allegedly fired his gun but did not hit the officer.

In 2014, Malaysia’s mother, Taffy Hayes, filed a claim for damages with the city that alleges wrongful death and violation of civil rights. The claim sought $25,000 in damages. In 2015, a Riverside Police Department police review found that the officer’s use of deadly force was consistent with RPD policy. Basketball Wives airs Mondays at 9pm on VH1.
