RICHMOND — Days after police arrested a Bay Area man on suspicion of killing former NFL player Terrell Roberts, the Contra Costa District Attorney’s office determined there wasn’t enough evidence to file a case, prosecutors said.

The suspect, who this newspaper is not naming, was released from jail Tuesday morning, authorities said. He was arrested earlier this week on suspicion of fatally shooting Roberts during an altercation in Richmond last September.

The District Attorney’s office didn’t comment on the rationale behind the decision not to file charges, which was made by the homicide unit. Generally, prosecutors are supposed to only file charges when they’re confident the charges can be proved at trial.

There is no statute of limitations on murder charges, so that means prosecutors can reevaluate their decision at any point.

The shooting took place out front, by the garage, at Roberts’ grandmother’s house, which is on the 1200 block of Fascination Circle, police said at the time. Roberts, who played two seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals, died in the backyard with a gunshot wound in his chest.

Before going pro, Roberts played football at El Cerrito High School. He signed with the Bengals in 2003 after going undrafted out of Oregon State. He played 23 games over two seasons, starting once and intercepting a pass. The Bengals released him in 2005.

“He was an outstanding talent, and he wasn’t a selfish player,” former longtime El Cerrito coach Frank Milo, 78, said in an interview last September. “He always worked hard for what he achieved. I can recall when he was a sophomore, I brought him up to varsity about halfway through the season, and he started at cornerback that year. The next two years, he was just tremendous. He started both ways and never came off the field. He also returned punts and kickoffs on special teams.”

Roberts’ family told news station KPIX that her had a “heart of gold” and was “not mixed up in anything bad.”

Terrell Perriman’s initial court appearance Thursday morning did not produce anything out of the ordinary.

A Rule 16 Discovery Request was made and a new court date of Feb. 18 was set. At that time, Perriman will stand before Judge Chelsea Koch at the Third District Court in West Jordan. Perriman will remain in Salt Lake County Jail on $750,000 bail.

A Rule 16 Discovery Request is a standard motion that defense attorneys file asking prosecutors to give them all of the evidence that they have.

When asked about the Perriman situation on Wednesday afternoon during his National Signing Day press conference, Utes coach Kyle Whittingham balked.

“I made the statement on that, and due to the nature of the nature of the investigation, what’s going on, I’m precluded from saying anything or comment in any way, shape or form,” Whittingham said.

Perriman was immediately suspended from the team last week, but as of Thursday afternoon, he remained on Utah’s official roster.

A statement describing the probable cause for his arrest alleges that he met the girl on Instagram and then the two connected on Snapchat. The teenager told police, according to court documents, that Perriman pressured her to send him nude photos and that he sent her several sexually graphic videos and a picture.

On Jan. 23, the girl said Perriman sent her an Uber ride so she could come to his apartment. Once she was there, charges allege, he trapped her in his room and wouldn’t let her leave. The teen told police she was afraid after she saw that Perriman had a stun gun.

She asked him if she could go, according to court documents, and he said only after she had sexual contact with him. She told him she didn’t want to and that she was only 17 and in high school. Perriman allegedly blocked the door, took her cellphone and covered her mouth while she screamed. She tried to bite him.

The girl said he then pulled his pants down and forced her out of hers and raped her, according to court documents. Perriman then ordered another Uber and sent the teen home, according to the probable cause statement.
