IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Shane Post Shot During Argument Over A Parking Space

Speaking with WFAA, Shane’s wife, Irina Post, stated she was waiting for her husband to get dropped off by a coworker in their gated parking lot. Shane’s coworker pulled into a neighbor’s parking spot to drop Shane off. This triggered the neighbor, Nikki Brown, to walk up and confront Shane Post over the parking spot.

“He came out in a robe, and he had already his gun loaded in his pocket,” Irina told WFAA. The Post family admits to having had two small run-ins with Nikki Brown previously – but nothing that led or presented violence.

Security cameras in the parking lot show Shane Post attempt to slowly walk towards Niki Brown. Suddenly, Brown pulled out his handgun and shot Shane in the torso. Shane is then seen stumbling and limping away from Brown.

The official Waxahachie Police department released the following statement on the incident:

“Officers immediately began life-saving measures until AMR arrived and transported him to Baylor Scott and White Hospital in Waxahachie. The suspect, identified as Nikki Brown of Waxahachie, was still at the location and taken into custody.”

Nikki Brown was arrested and taken to Ellis County jail but has since been released according to posts by Shane Post’s family. Brown also did not show up on the Thursday night jail roster. It was later confirmed that Brown had posted bond out of jail.

Shane Post’s mother commented to WFAA about the incident:

“I can’t process any of it. He was shot over a parking spot.”

Shane Post is an IFBB Pro bodybuilder who’s biggest accomplishments were earning first place at the NPC 2020 USA Championships and the 2017 Mr. Pittsburgh. Post’s pro career was just getting started. Though a massive injury such as this could be a career ending situation – thankfully Post is currently in stable condition at the hospital.

Shane Post, though stable, is still in the ICU at Methodist Dallas and will be held at the hospital for at least a week. He has major injuries in his liver, colon, pancreas, and urethra.

The family has stated that the bullet is still in Shane Post, and the doctors find it currently too dangerous to remove. It is believed that Post will be facing months of rehab after being released from the hospital.
