Thieves have reportedly followed Baltimore Ravens’ cornerback Jimmy Smith and his family as he headed to a hotel in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
Smith was leaving the Los Angeles International Airport with family members when they were attacked and threatened at gunpoint.
“We are aware of the situation involving Jimmy Smith,” a statement from the Ravens said on Friday.
