Brittney Mills, 29, was believed to be a former girlfriend of Collins, and though she died in the shooting, her baby was delivered. Police are trying to determine if Collins is the father of the newborn and if he can provide any possible information on Mills' death.
"We have identified where La'el was the day the lady was murdered to establish he was nowhere around," Collins' attorney, Jim Boren, told ESPN. "We have offered to give names, witnesses who can vouch for his whereabouts that day until after the woman's body was discovered. We believe that when [police] have verified that information, that they will rule him out as a suspect in the homicide, just as I believe he should be."
