LA Rams superstar's brother arrested for stealing LA Lakers player's car in bizarre cross-sport crime bombshell
UK Daily Mail ^ | 17 December 2025 | BEN NAGLE

The brother of LA Rams football superstar Puka Nacua has been arrested for his role in the theft of an SUV belonging to LA Lakers basketball player Adou Thiero.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Samson Nacua, 27, was arrested with Trey Rose, also 27, for allegedly taking Thiero's car without his consent over the weekend.

Cops were called to the One Hotel in West Hollywood after the vehicle was tracked there, per a report from NBC4 Investigates, and it was then found that the suspects had valeted the car and entered the hotel.

Police then reviewed security footage and were able to identify the suspects and arrest them soon after, with both remaining behind bars as of Wednesday evening.

Nacua is the brother of Rams wide receiver Puka, who has become one of the biggest stars in the NFL over the past two seasons.

It has also been a headline-grabbing week for the NFL star himself, after he risked the wrath of league officials for some bizarre comments about referees on a live stream.

What kind of SUV? Cadillac Escalade, or is that too basketball? This features Samoans vs Malians (from Mali that I could not find on a map of Africa)

I feel sorry for the five percent of NFL players who are not superstars.

Maybe they can claim that they were repossessing the SUV as the owner was late in payment? LOL

See tagline

Mali, the home of Timbuktu. Sort of a Wild West of Africa, desert, hostile tribes .

Liberia was such a great idea, too bad it didn’t pan out.

Malians want reparations for being landlocked! Now they are victims of car theft as well. Will it never end for Mali?

“”The brother of LA Rams football superstar Puka Nacua has been arrested for his role in the theft of an SUV belonging to LA Lakers basketball player Adou Thiero.””

How many had to read that sentence more than once?

I do know that France once owned Mali lock stock and barrel. Sure this hole is half desert. But did you know that the Sahara turns green and lush every 22000 years and this lasts 4000 years?

“France once owned Mali, which was known as French Sudan until it gained independence in 1960. The French colonial rule began in 1892”

I used to live two blocks from that hotel—in Hollywood, just over the line from West Hollywood.

You can take the “gangsta” out of the hood, but you cannot take the hood out of a “gangsta”...

LA Rams football superstar Puka Nacua

Nacua is the brother of Rams wide receiver Puka, who has become one of the biggest stars in the NFL over the past two seasons.

May be east coast bias, but I have never heard of this guy. (I follow football).

Of course they will torture us Lions fans by making us watch Stafford win another ring.

Yep, Josh can't win it on his own, he needs a team.
