Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against former New York Jets first-round pick Darron Lee while releasing grisly new details about how he allegedly murdered his girlfriend.
Lee, who played five seasons in the NFL, was denied bond at a court hearing Wednesday on charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence, WTVC reported.
Prosecutors said they are seeking the death penalty as they revealed that there was “blood in just about every room” — including in a car in the garage — when Lee allegedly beat Gabriella Carvalho Perpétuo to death at a home in Tennessee.
Lee, who was selected by the Jets with the No. 20 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, allegedly called police to the house outside of Chattanooga and told officers that Perpétuo suffered from narcolepsy and must have fallen down in the shower.
But cops found the blood-soaked scene — and a Perpétuo dead on the floor.
