Questions surround a shooting incident involving a local NFL player and two county sheriff’s departments.

Dominique Robertson, who played at Redlands East Valley High and Riverside City College before signing a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was hospitalized in Loma Linda early Thursday with gunshot wounds and detained by authorities upon his Friday evening release, according to his mother and his attorney.

Though Robertson has told authorities that he was shot in Loma Linda, he was detained by Riverside County sheriff’s deputies — who wouldn’t have jurisdiction in a San Bernardino County case.

Robertson was not arrested. After talking to authorities for several hours, he was released from the Jurupa Valley sheriff’s station about 11:30 p.m. Friday, said his attorney, Zulu Ali.

Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Armando Muñoz said Saturday morning that no details about the case were available while it’s an ongoing investigation. The department has not confirmed whether it spoke with Robertson.

Ali said Friday that he was confused why Robertson was detained by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and didn’t know whether it was connected to the shooting. On Saturday, he said that after talking with his client, he hadn’t gotten a clearer picture.

“There was never any indication that they were speaking to him because they were implicating him in anything,” he said. “They just held him for five hours and really nothing was said other than, ‘I want to speak to my attorney.'”

Ali said he feels his client’s Sixth Amendment rights were violated because those requests were not met.

“My primary issue is trying to get to the bottom of why he was detained and denied a right to speak with his attorney,” Ali said. He said Robertson was also denied water and medications he was prescribed as a result of his injuries.

Robertson’s shooting injuries are in his back, buttocks and leg, according to San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Deputy Olivia Bozek.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies responded at 3:28 a.m. Thursday to the emergency room at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where Robertson was being treated, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department news release.

Robertson told deputies he was shot outside an apartment building in the 25000 block of Park Avenue, according to the release. Deputies said they found no evidence of a crime there, and neighbors told them they had not heard gunshots, according to the release.

Robertson was released from the hospital about 6 p.m. Friday, said Robertson’s mother, Tijuana Ross, 43, of Riverside. He was detained and taken to the Riverside County sheriff’s Jurupa Valley station.

Ross said her son – previously a resident of Florida – had been visiting friends in Loma Linda when he was shot.

Robertson played football at Redlands East Valley and graduated in 2012. He played at Riverside City College and Texas Tech before finishing his college career at Division II West Georgia.

Although he wasn’t selected in the NFL Draft, he signed a free-agent contract with the Buccaneers in May. He is listed as a guard on the team’s website.

His uncle, George Warhop, is the offensive line coach for the Buccaneers.

On Twitter, the Buccaneers on Saturday said the team’s “primary concern is for Dominique’s health and well-being.”
