DeSean Jackson’s California home was robbed at gunpoint, and it was scary for those involved.

It looks like DeSean Jackson’s gang-affiliated friends might be to blame for Jackon’s latest misfortune. According to Bleeding Green Nation on their report earlier today (Oct. 23, 2015) upwards of five armed gunmen entered the Los Angeles residence of DeSean Jackson while he was away.

There were six people inside his home already, and after putting up a fight, the armed invaders fled shortly after. At least one person suffered minor injuries. Adding to the speculation that the gunmen might be gang-affiliated friends, the intruders were reported to know exactly where the cameras were placed suggesting that these men have been in the house before.

Ever since DeSean was released from the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2014, he’s tried his best to distance himself from any gang related activity, denying numerous times that he was ever part of a gang. And even when an investigation into his past crimes only drew up a charge on tinted windows and possession of marijuana, his dubious connections were enough to dismiss Jackson from the Eagles citing conflicts of interest like “a bad attitude.”

This isn’t the first time DeSean has been robbed. Just last year thieves took the equivalent amount of cash and goods to the tune of $250,000 from his South Philadelphia residence.

Something has to be said for DeSean Jackson’s situation. Although he may have not been part of a gang, all signs point to being friends with those who were. It’s hard to distance yourself from friends who all of a sudden you no longer want to be affiliated with, especially ones who might be privy to so many of your secrets.

Hopefully, his friends can do Desean a solid and leave him be.
