Police search home of Ray Lewis

Associated Press

ATLANTA-Police searched Ray Lewis' home in suburban Baltimore yesterday, but would not disclose what they were looking for or what they found in connection with the murder charges facing the NFL star.

Officers could be seen carrying large plastic containers from the home and loading a computer into a van.

Atlanta police spokesman John Quigley confirmed a search warrant was executed, but he would not elaborate on the search by Atlanta and Baltimore County police. While police sought clues in Lewis' home, his lawyer said all the passengers in the limousine that fled the scene of the two fatal stabbings contend his client was not part of the post-Super Bowl brawl.

Don Samuel told The Associated Press yesterday that he and other defense lawyers and investigators have interviewed all six men, including Lewis.

"We're all hearing one voice - Ray was not involved in knifing anybody or attacking anybody," Samuel said. "We have not interviewed the driver, but everyone else says Ray wasn't the one."

The Sun in Baltimore reported yesterday that 51-year-old limo driver Duane Fassett told police that Lewis threw at least one punch in the fight that resulted in the two deaths.

The affidavit police used to obtain the arrest warrant against Lewis cited an unidentified witness who said Lewis participated in the "punching, beating, and stabbing" of the two men.

The Baltimore Ravens player is in Atlanta Detention Center on murder charges stemming from the deaths of Jacinth ''Shorty'' Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24, both of Decatur.
