***Update***
quote:

Former LSU standout offensive lineman La’el Collins, a projected first-round pick in Thursday’s NFL draft, has scheduled an interview with Baton Rouge homicide detectives investigating the recent killing of a pregnant woman, Baton Rouge police said.

Cpl. Don Coppola Jr., a police spokesman, said the interview will take place sometime after the NFL draft, which starts Thursday night.

Police have said Collins, 21, is not a suspect in the killing of 29-year-old Brittney Mills, who was fatally shot Friday night at her Ship Drive home. Mills died at her apartment, but was rushed to the hospital where her unborn son was delivered. The baby is expected to survive.


quote:

Police are seeking to question LSU offensive lineman La'el Collins following the shooting death of a pregnant woman last week, Baton Rouge police Lt. Jonny Dunnam told ESPN.
Brittany Mills, 29, is believed by police to be a former girlfriend of Collins. Police said Collins is not currently a suspect in the shooting, only that they want to talk to him to see if he can assist with the information.

Just saw that.

quote:

When WAFB contacted Collins by text message Tuesday, he replied that he was in Atlanta boarding a plane for Chicago and that his agent would be contacting the station for comment. His agent has not yet done so.

I can only remember one girlfriend of La'El and this isn't one of them. Maybe they were together at some other point that I didn't know of.

A pregnant woman was killed, yet all most worry about is a football player's draft stock falling a few spots... classy.

This explains what happened this morning on Culotta and the Prince. La'el was scheduled to be on this morning and they were joking how they called him a million times and he didn't answer. Also joked how first round draft picks should lock themselves in a room all week so nothing bad happens

Perfect timing just to ruin a guy's draft stock. He probably had nothing to do with any of this too but you know teams are going to put a huge question mark on him since they probably don't have enough time to investigate.

LSU has a tough time getting Juniors to stay for their Senior season. A players finally stays, improves his draft stock, stays injury free, and his ex gets murdered and his draft stock takes a hit.

When did they first ask him to come in? Could he have already cleared this up or was he stalling? This could be why they went public with wanting to question him. I could be very wrong but I can't imagine them thinking lets wait until draft time to call him in. Theres more to this story.
