Professional athletes often find themselves as targets due to the public nature of their schedules.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver DeMarcus Robinson fell victim to a gunpoint robbery on Friday, resulting in the theft of over $100,000 worth of jewelry.
According to TMZ Sports, law enforcement received reports of a robbery incident outside a Los Angeles area hotel shortly after midnight on Friday. Two individuals reportedly approached Robinson, brandishing firearms, and demanded that he surrender his valuable possessions. As of now, no arrests have been made, but an investigation by the police is underway.
One of the stolen items, described as a “pricey watch,” was particularly noteworthy among the stolen valuables.
