A grand jury in Clark County has found sufficient evidence to proceed with an indictment in an incident that allegedly occurred over the weekend of the NFL’s Pro Bowl on February 5, 2022.
Police said video evidence showed Kamala punched the man eight times. According to police, the victim was unconscious and suffered an orbital fracture in his right eye. It is said that after the man fell, he was trampled by others in Kamala’s group.
KLAS reported that the incident began when Kamala placed a hand on the man’s chest to prevent him from boarding an elevator with the group, and escalated when the man pushed Kamala’s hand away.
The victim, identified in court documents as Darnell Greene of Texas, filed a $10 million civil suit against Kamala last October in the Civil District Court of Orleans, Louisiana. , Green said he needed continued medical care, including surgery, to treat injuries he said he sustained in the alleged attack.
Kamala, a five-time Pro Bowler, played in the Pro Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas the day after the incident.

Attorneys David Chesnoff, Drew Findling and Richard Schoenfeld said in a statement that “the state avoided a contested preliminary hearing by indicting Kamala,” according to KLAS. “He was defending himself and others at the time of the incident and will vigorously defend his claims at trial.”

Kamala, 27, appeared in 15 games (13 starts) for 897 yards and two touchdowns. He added 57 catches for 490 yards and two TDs.
