Colorado Police Close Grizzlies Star Ja Morant’s Case With No Charges

Ja Morant is exonerated in the gun video case, at least legally; the police just said the NBA player won’t be charged despite the fact that Morant videotaped himself brandishing a pistol at a club in the Denver region over the weekend.

Despite the “concerning” photographs on Morant’s Instagram Live video on Saturday morning, the Glendale Police Department cleared the 23-year-old on Wednesday afternoon, stating in a statement that “there was not enough available evidence to prosecute Morant or anybody with a crime.”

Police said that the incident happened on March 4 at Shotgun Willie’s, a Gentleman’s club about five miles from Ball Arena, only hours after the Grizzlies’ game versus the Nuggets.

In this case,” police said, “it should be noted that on the night in question the GPD did not receive any calls for service at the nightclub regarding a weapon of any type. Subsequently, no disturbances were reported, and no citizens or patrons of the club came forward to make a complaint.”
“The investigation also concluded that no one was threatened or menaced with the firearm,” they added, “and in fact no firearm was ever located.”
“Under our justice system all persons are presumed innocent until proven otherwise.”
Even if Morant was exonerated legally, Morant is still at risk of discipline from the NBA, which said it had its own inquiry into the case but had not yet finished it.Morant, who expressed regret for the video and promised to get support thereafter, has stayed away from the Grizzlies as the investigation goes on.
