Embattled former LSU offensive lineman La’el Collins met with Baton Rouge police homicide detectives for more than an hour Monday at Louisiana State Police headquarters as part of a murder investigation in which Collins’ former girlfriend was killed.
Baton Rouge PD spokesman Cpl. Don Coppola said his office had no new information to report. He confirmed again that Collins is not a suspect.
Police have not publicly said if they have a suspect or a motive in the crime.
Monday’s meeting was delayed while Collins waited out the NFL Draft in which he was not picked by any of the 32 teams.
“It went fine; we answered all their questions,” Boren said. “La’el is not going to make any comments. I’m not going to have any comments. The investigation is going to continue. La’el is now going to start making an effort to start getting his football career back on track.”
When asked if he thought Collins would be cleared of the charges, Boren replied, “Only the police can answer that question. In my mind he’s been cleared from the very beginning.
