The former Bengal DB was murdered by an intruder while in his grandmother's backyard. Undrafted out of Oregon State, Terrell played for the team in 2003 and 2004.

He was 38.

May he rest in peace

Roberts did not live there so he may not have had anything to do with it, but I pretty much guarantee it was not just a regular burglary gone bad.

What???

Or maybe the burglar thought the house was empty?
Or maybe the burglar was totally f***** up on drugs and had no idea what was going on?
Or maybe the burglar went to the wrong house?

Your guarantee is ridiculous and in poor taste in terms of what you are insinuating.

Such a shame. Rest easy Terrell

Absolutely nothing against Roberts, but a slightly more interesting story from the Mercury News (the same news org that reported on Roberts) https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/09/12/he-was-in-the-shower-when-a-bulldozer-started-demolishing-his-home/  A bulldozer operator started yanking apart the wrong house then tried to blame it on a tree falling on the house while sitting IN the bulldozer.. 

Rest well Mr Roberts. Crazy news going on around you as well.. Roberts thinking, "Yeah, this happens every day..No biggie.."

The article doesn't say anything about a burglar or an attempted burglary.

You dont anything other than the guy was killed by an intruder who wasn't supposed to be there.

I think the old saying "assumption is the mother of all messups" applies here.

story is all kinds of weird.
