This just got a whole lot weirder and shocking all at once.
TMZ is reporting that Lawrence Phillips' cellmate may have been sexually assaulted moments before he was murdered by the former NFL running back.
According to the report, a sexual assault kit was performed on the victim as well.
We spoke with officials involved in the murder investigation who tell us a sexual assault kit is NOT a standard operating procedure with murder victims at KVSP — “There would have to be a reason to believe [a sexual assault occurred]. Some evidence or something else.”
It’s unclear what the sexual assault kit turned up — or if prosecutors plan to charge Phillips with a sex crime.
This just gets crazier by the moment.
