Police are seeking to question La'el Collins following the shooting death of a pregnant woman last week, but the former LSU offensive lineman is not considered a suspect, Baton Rouge police Lt. Jonny Dunnam told ESPN.

Brittany Mills, 29, is believed by police to be a former girlfriend of Collins. Police said Collins is not believed to be a suspect in the shooting, only that they want to talk to him to see if he can provide them with information.

Collins' attorney, Jim Boren, told police his client is in Chicago getting ready for the NFL draft. But Boren told ESPN he has been in constant contact with the lead detective on the case and he spoke with the district attorney Tuesday.

"We took the investigation seriously," Boren said from his offices Tuesday. "We've tried to rule him out as a suspect. We're going to provide that information to the police, and ultimately [Collins] will sit down and talk to them. But the timing is poor."

Mills was found shot to death in her apartment Friday night by police, who rushed her to the hospital, where her infant was delivered.

Boren said he has retained the services of a private investigative firm to help him prove that Collins was not close to Mills' home when she was murdered.

"We have identified where La'el was the day the lady was murdered to establish he was nowhere around," 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."

Maybe she was one of his high school teachers.

Why would he shoot the gal himself? I would be wary.

This is setting up nicely for us to nail 3 HOF players.

Now we need a ILB to do something really,really stupid

Paternity tests take weeks so there's no reason for him to be in Louisiana, IMO.

His agent should advise him to leave Chicago, period. With a murder investigation hanging over his head, the last thing he needs his cameras on while all 32 teams pass on him in the first round.

On the other hand, what better place for a murderer to be than Chicago? When in Rome...

My impression is that he needs to get a different attorney.

Uh, yeah.

Hell of a thing to happen right before the draft.

Really throws a monkey wrench into the whole thing. First round will be rather interesting because of this.

So, when is it going to come out that the baby is his, and that he paid someone to take her out so that he wouldn't have to pay that woman millions after he got drafted?

I wish that it would shock me, but the way things have been lately it seems more plausible than I'd like to admit.

Henceforth known as the Rae'l Collrruth Scenario.

Nothing says innocent like hiring an attorney before you even talk to the police about your whereabouts the night of the murder. Nice that he's so concerned about his possible child. This will cost him millions and send him to the later rounds of the draft.
