Kansas City Chiefs RB Damien Williams was the victim of a robbery over the weekend at a Los Angeles Airbnb.
According to the initial report from TMZ, Williams and several guests had just checked into a high-priced Airbnb in Los Angeles when three intruders broke into the property through the back door. The robbers made off with roughly $1,000 in cash according to the report.
Most importantly, neither Williams or the other guests at the Airbnb were injured. The Kansas City Star’s Sam McDowell confirmed this portion of the report adding that Williams is “doing fine.” While Williams and his guests weren’t injured, they were threatened by the three men.
The police are currently investigating the incident, surveilling any camera footage from the nearby area in an attempt to identify and find the robbers.
Chiefs running back Damien Williams was robbed over the weekend in L.A., I'm told, as @TMZ_Sports reported. Williams is doing fine.

It’s unclear at this time if Williams was targeted specifically or this home was the target of burglary, with Williams and others getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s also not clear why Williams was in Los Angeles.
Thankfully, Williams wasn’t injured and the material objects lost can be replaced, but a scary situation involving the Chiefs’ starting running back nonetheless.
