The footage that surfaced online left even the toughest viewers speechless.
Once celebrated as a rising star in the NFL — a powerful running back known for his speed and strength — his name is now synonymous with violence, shame, and heartbreak.
It all happened inside a quiet Florida apartment on what was supposed to be an ordinary afternoon. His girlfriend, holding their 5-month-old baby, had been arguing with him over a simple disagreement that quickly turned volatile. The tension had been building for weeks — and that day, it exploded.
Surveillance footage from inside the apartment captured the horrifying scene. In a flash of rage, the former New York Jets running back grabbed his girlfriend and hurled her across the living room, slamming her into a large TV stand. The sound of the crash was followed by the baby’s terrified cries.
The young woman tried to get up — but before she could, he lunged again, shouting at her as the baby watched from just a few feet away. The video shows her begging him to stop, clutching at the couch for balance, but the violence continued.
Miraculously, she managed to escape the apartment with her child, running to a neighbor’s door for help. When police arrived, they found the room in chaos — furniture overturned, shattered glass on the floor, and the TV smashed from the impact.
The man fled the scene, sparking a statewide manhunt that ended days later when U.S. Marshals tracked him down and arrested him. He was charged with aggravated battery and domestic violence, and his once-promising career came to a definitive, tragic end.
In court, prosecutors described the assault as “one of the most disturbing domestic incidents ever caught on camera.”
The victim has since spoken out, saying her only focus now is the well-being of her child — a child who will someday have to learn what really happened that day.
