Back in December, New York Knicks small forward Cleanthony Early was involved in a terrible situation where he was robbed and shot outside of a club in Queens. The second year player lost the most of his season recovering from the injury stemming from the shooting, having only just come back from to join the team.
Fortunately, there has been a breakthrough in the case. According to the New York Daily News, police have arrested a man involved in what was a multi-person crime.
The feds have arrested a Brooklyn man in connection with last year’s robbery and shooting of Knicks forward Cleanthony Early, the Daily News has learned.
Delvon Dowling, whose nickname is “Bam Bam,” was arraigned Saturday in Brooklyn Federal Court in the Dec. 30 stickup of Early, his girlfriend and their Uber car service driver outside the CityScapes Gentleman’s strip club in Maspeth, Queens….
Dowling was arrested Friday and admitted that he was part of the crew that had planned the robbery and waited outside the jiggle joint in three cars for the victims to come out. According to the complaint, Dowling claimed that he was in one of the getaway cars while his accomplices committed the robbery and that he was not the shooter.
Clearly, there is still a ton of work to be done with multiple accomplices that have not yet been found. However, that one of the people involved in the shooting has been arrested is a good sign.
