Cops say Baker and Dunbar were allegedly hanging at a cookout when an argument broke out and Baker whipped out a semi-automatic firearm.
Cops say Dunbar assisted in taking watches and other valuables at the direction of Baker.
At one point, cops say Baker directed a 3rd man -- who was wearing a red mask -- to shoot someone who had just walked into the party ... but fortunately, no one was shot. [Reply]
So it sounds like he went to a party, lost about $70,000 in informal gambling that night, and then went back the next week either to take it back. Is that right?
The text message references Dolphins players. So were there Dolphins players getting guns pulled on them, or was he trying to rob the following week's random guests?
And how does this all play out in terms of cash? Did he have $70,000 in cash on him the previous week that he paid out? Did he got to the bank and withdraw $70,000? Or was the argument the following week caused by people telling him to pay up? I don't know how high-stakes informal gambling works. [Reply]
