He was attempting to cross the highway in search of a gas station after his rental car had run out of gas just after 6 a.m.Also named in the suit are the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Boca Raton, Fla., and three establishments Haskins had visited in the hours before his death: Drive Shack in Palm Beach, Fla.; the Blue Anchor Pub in Delray Beach, Fla.; and E11Even nightclub in Miami.
“As to what occurred in the hours before Dwayne was killed, many questions remain unanswered,” Ellsley wrote in a press release announcing the suit. “It is believed that Dwayne was targeted and drugged as part of a blackmail and robbery conspiracy. In fact, his highly-expensive watch was stolen from him shortly before his death.
The suit also alleges the Florida Department of Transportation had obstructed visibility with a construction sign and didn’t properly maintain the lighting or lower the speed limit in the area where Haskins was hit. It also named Roam Rental Car of Miami, the local operator of the Ace Rent a Car franchise, claiming the company rented Haskins a car that was “mechanically damaged,” leading to him running out of gas.
Haskins, who starred at the Bullis School in Potomac, Md., and later at Ohio State, was Washington’s first-round pick in 2019 but never fully established himself as the team’s quarterback. The team released him late in the 2020 season, and he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021. He appeared to be reviving his career before his death at 24.
