Former Atlanta Falcons cornerback Glenn Sharpe, 28, is being held in a Dekalb County, Georgia jail on murder charges.

Sharpe was arrested last week by members of the Sheriff’s Fugitive Squad for the fatal shooting of Christopher Galloway at his home near Stone Mountain.

He was formally charged last Friday afternoon and is currently being held without bond.

After playing for the University of Miami, Sharpe joined the Falcons as a free agent in 2008. He also played for the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints.

Sharpe’s preliminary hearing is scheduled in DeKalb County Superior Court for March 28.
