Indictments against pro football players Alvin Kamara<\/a> and Chris Lammons, as well as two other men, are based largely on surveillance videos showing violent attacks, according to court transcripts released on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The videos show the four men allegedly kicking, shoving, or punching the victim, Darnell Greene<\/a>, at the entrance to a Las Vegas nightclub, according to indictments from a Clark County grand jury.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Det. Austin Bone told the grand jury that officers were able to identify the four individuals from video taken at The Cromwell Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, and video from a limousine in which the men were passengers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The grand jury indicted Kamara, Lammons, Percy Harris, and Christopher Young last week. Each is charged with battery resulting in substantial bodily harm and conspiracy to commit battery.<\/p>\n

Kamara is a running back for the New Orleans Saints. Lammons was a one-time cornerback for the Cincinnati Bengals. Harris is reportedly Kamara\u2019s manager. The fourth man\u2019s profession is unknown.<\/p>\n

\n

The Feb. 5, 2022 assault occurred outside of an elevator that takes visitors to Drai\u2019s<\/a> After Hours nightclub, located in the Cromwell complex. The incident took place over Pro Bowl weekend, which was held at Allegiant Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Greene, like the suspects, was waiting for the elevator. When it opened, Kamara allegedly stopped Greene from walking inside.<\/p>\n

Victim Initially Pushed Back<\/h2>\n

\u201cA guy put his hands \u2026 on my chest, like to \u2026 push me back and tell me I can\u2019t get on the elevator,\u201d Greene testified.\u00a0Greene then shoved Kamara\u2019s hand away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen he pushed me real hard and then somebody hit me,\u201d Greene recalled. Lammons was the one who threw the punch, police said.<\/p>\n

The blow knocked Greene backward, causing his head to strike a wall, the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

I thought I was getting murdered,\u201d<\/strong> Greene told the grand jury.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During the attack, Greene was beaten in the head, neck, torso, back, and chest, according to the indictment. Greene lost consciousness and fell to the floor.<\/p>\n

Kamara Allegedly Punched Greene Eight Times<\/h2>\n

Based on the videos, police estimated Kamara punched Greene eight times, according to the Review-Journal<\/em>. Lammons allegedly punched Greene once and kicked him three times, police said. Harris kicked him 16 times, and Young kicked him four times, according to police statements.<\/p>\n

\n

After the attack, the four left the casino building and went into the limousine. Kamara made a fist with his right hand while apparently bragging about the assault, \u201cI connected with the [expletive]\u2019s jaw so hard,\u201d Kamara said while in the limo, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Greene suffered an orbital fracture around the eye and shoulder injuries from the beating. He had to undergo surgery on his right shoulder, the Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

The four suspects had been at the Wynn Las Vegas that day before going to Drai\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Kamara is represented by Las Vegas criminal defense attorneys David Chesnoff, Drew Findling, and Richard Schonfeld. The legal team has said they will \u201cvigorously fight the allegations at trial.\u201d Kamara \u201cwas defending himself and others at the time of the incident,\u201d the legal team said in a statement quoted by Las Vegas TV station KLAS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kamara has claimed Greene punched him as Kamara attempted to flee, according to a police report quoted by the Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comments from the attorneys representing the three other men were not immediately available.<\/p>\n

The criminal case will next be heard in Las Vegas court on March 2.<\/p>\n

Greene has filed a separate civil lawsuit in Louisiana. He is seeking $10 million in damages from the men. “At no point during the attack did Greene hit, punch, or push Kamara or any of his associates,\u201d\u00a0the lawsuit claimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
