Two Found Dead at Home of Saint’s Linebacker Jonathan Vilma

What do you think of when you hear murder and a football star in the same sentence? I would say O.J. Simpson.

But nope not this one. Recently, USA Today has reported the murder of two African immigrants, Sekou Sakor and Ansu Keita, killed at the site of New Orleans Saint’s linebacker Jonathan Vilma’s vacant condominium in Woodbury, N.Y. The NFL’s 2004 Defensive Rookie of the Year relocated to the Saints last season after spending four years with the Jets.

Vilma, who plays for the New Orleans Saints and has been trying to sell the $900,000 condo, was in Miami at the time and was just as surprised to find out about the incident as anyone else. Police have stated Vilma is not a suspect in the murders.

It was unclear how Sakor, 31, and Keita, 32, both originally from Liberia, ended up at Vilma's home, where neighbors reported shots fired on Thursday night. Sakor's body was found Friday dumped in Queens; Keita's body was found in Brooklyn. Nassau County investigators believe the victims may have been mixed up in a so-called "black money" scheme.

We have yet to know what the true cause of this murder is.
