NFL: Two slain at New York apartment of Saints player

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Police are investigating two execution-style slayings at a Long Island condo owned by a New Orleans linebacker who formerly played for the New York Jets.

New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said Tuesday that Saints player Jonathan Vilma was not there at the time of the slayings and is not believed to be involved.

The victims were shot in the head Thursday night in Woodbury, N.Y. One body was later dumped in Queens and the other in Brooklyn.

Police believe the killings involved a money dispute.

Vilma's agent did not immediately return a call for comment on Tuesday.
