On May 14, 2020, a violent incident unfolded at a cookout in Miramar, near Miami, leaving a trail of destruction and raising questions about the behavior of two prominent NFL players.
According to the Miramar Police Department, New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar are wanted in connection with the alleged armed robbery.
Documents posted by the Miramar Police Department reveal that Baker and Dunbar were at a cookout when an argument began. Baker allegedly pulled out a firearm and directed two other individuals, including Dunbar, to rob other guests.
Witnesses told police that the two allegedly took thousands of dollars in cash, expensive watches, and other valuables before departing in separate cars.
One witness reported that Dunbar was armed with a gun, while another indicated he might not have been. The police report also states that at one point, Baker allegedly directed a third man, who was wearing a mask, to shoot someone, but no one was shot before the men fled.
Baker, a first-round draft pick by the Giants in 2019, started 15 games in his rookie season and recorded 61 tackles. Dunbar, who played for the Washington Redskins last season, was traded to the Seahawks in March.
The NFL issued a statement saying, 'We are aware of the matter but will decline further comment at this time.'
