Former NFL star Richard Sherman is asking for help after his home was robbed at gunpoint while his wife and children were inside.
Sherman, 37, posted surveillance photos via X on Monday, March 31, showing three armed masked intruders ransacking his Seattle-area house.
“House being robbed at gun point with my family in it isn’t what anyone wants for a birthday gift,’ Sherman wrote. “Scary situation that my Wife handled masterfully and kept my kids safe. If anyone has any info that can help find these people please reach out.”
Sherman, who now works as an analyst for Prime Video after retiring from the NFL after the 2021 season, has been married to his wife, Ashley Moss, since 2018. The couple share daughters Rayden, 10, and Avery, 8.
The former Seattle Seahawks star also shared a video of the intruders breaking through a window to gain entry to his home.
In a response to a comment on the video, Sherman said a phone that one of the intruders took was tossed back inside the home before fleeing.
Sherman was celebrating his birthday in Las Vegas at the time of the break-in, according to photos he posted via his Instagram Story.
Moss responded to the terrifying incident via her Instagram Story on Monday afternoon.
“Thank you to everyone who has checked in,” she wrote. “It is truly appreciated. The kids and I are physically ok. Very shaken up and hope to find these people soon. Waking up to intruders outside your bedroom with a gun is something no one should have to experience.”
Moss concluded, “Like I said they tried the wrong people! We WILL find you!”
Sherman’s wife also posted the same surveillance video from the robbery and wrote, “This is what a coward looks like! If this is your family, friend, brother, etc., do the right thing.”
The robbery at Sherman’s home comes less than two months after seven men were charged in burglaries that targeted NFL stars like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes while they were knowingly away from their residences.
Federal prosecutors charged the men, all Chilean and members of a South American theft group, February 18.
All seven men, who range in age from 20 to 38, were charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property. If convicted, they each face a maximum of 10 years in prison.
According to the complaint, the men would enter homes through a broken window or by using a crowbar to pry open a sliding door. The group allegedly used “throw phones” as a means to “thwart law enforcement.”
