New York Jets player stalked, robbed at gunpoint in New Jersey
Amid a string of robberies of the homes of many professional athletes, including Patric Mahomes and Travis Kelce, one New York Jets player and another unidentified victim were stalked and robbed at gunpoint this past weekend in New Jersey.
The incident came just days after 7 men were charged in connection with burglary cases, including Mahomes’ home. It also comes during a week that saw Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant’s home burglarized, losing approximately $1 million in valuables. Fellow pro athletes like Luka Doncic, Karl-Anthony Towns and Evgeni Malkin have also had their homes robbed. Now, things have seemingly escalated.

As first reported by NBC 4 New York, an unidentified Jets player and another person were robbed at gunpoint in New Jersey after being stacked all the way back from New York City.
According to reports, Morristown police received multiple 911 calls around 8 a.m. local time on Saturday, with reports of an alleged armed robbery in the Windmill Pond neighborhood. According to witnesses, three men carrying guns stepped out of a dark SUV and robbed the couple at gunpoint.
While no injuries were reported, the suspects are accused of taking both money and personal items from the couple before fleeing the scene in a second vehicle. One of the neighbors in the community confirmed one of the victims plays for the Jets but their identity has been withheld.
Police told NBC 4 New York that they believe the couple was targeted, with the suspects following them for more than 30 miles from Manhattan. There is an ongoing search for the suspects, but no public information has been provided on any physical descriptions.
