According to the Associated Press, large amounts of cash were stolen from Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker, who was found beaten and laying unconscious on a street near the Las Vegas strip early Monday morning.
A large amount of cash and some jewelry were taken from Walker, who suffered “significant injuries,” police said.
Police Lt. Clinton Nichols said detectives are retracing Walker’s activities in the hours before he was found injured Monday morning on a street off the Las Vegas Strip.
“That’s one of the first things we do, backtrack what he did and where he stayed,” Nichols said, adding that the investigation was still in the early stages. “We knew there was a large amount of cash taken, and some jewelry.”
According to reports published Tuesday in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Walker visited a nightclub, Tryst, at the Wynn Las Vegas resort on Saturday night. He spent Sunday night at another club, Body English at the Hard Rock hotel-casino, before leaving about 3:30 a.m. Monday, according to casino spokeswoman Dorian Cantrell.
Cantrell said there were no reports of a disturbance at the club.
I still find it interesting that he was alone. These ballplayers never travel alone and maybe this is just my inner conspiracy theorist at work, but maybe he was beaten and robbed by someone he knew?
