According to reports, two defensive players from the Cleveland Browns were the victims of an armed robbery carried out by six men wearing masks outside a nightclub downtown.
The Associated Press identified the victims as Greg Newsome II, a cornerback, and Perrion Winfrey, a tackle.
The mandatory minicamp for the Browns commenced on Tuesday.
According to the police report, one of the players was making his way back to his truck in a parking lot around 3:30 a.m. on Monday when a group of masked assailants emerged from a car, brandishing firearms. They proceeded to steal jewelry from the player before fleeing the scene in his vehicle.
Greg Newsome, who was selected by the Browns as a first-round draft pick in 2021 from Northwestern shared a tweet on Monday night reading, “It’s a cruel world we live in.”
The investigation is ongoing.
