Detroit Pistons shooting guard Malik Beasley has been forcibly removed from his upscale high-rise apartment in downtown Detroit amid an ongoing FBI investigation into illegal gambling activities allegedly connected to the property.
FBI Raid Precedes Sudden Eviction
Law enforcement sources confirm federal agents executed a search warrant at the luxury building last month as part of a wider probe into sports gambling operations. Beasley, 27, received an eviction notice shortly after the raid, with court documents citing "violation of lease terms" as the official reason.
Building Management Takes Swift Action
The apartment complex's management company moved quickly to terminate Beasley's lease, with insiders suggesting the decision was directly related to the FBI investigation. "When federal law enforcement gets involved, landlords don't hesitate," explained a real estate attorney familiar with the case.
Beasley's Career at Crossroads
The former Minnesota Timberwolves player, who signed with Detroit last season, now faces potential disciplinary action from the NBA. League officials are monitoring the situation closely, as the association maintains strict policies against player involvement in gambling operations.
Neighbors Report Suspicious Activity
Several residents of the high-rise reported noticing unusual foot traffic to Beasley's unit in recent months. "There were always different people coming and going at all hours," one neighbor told reporters anonymously. "It didn't seem like normal athlete hospitality."
The FBI has declined to comment on whether Beasley himself is a target of their investigation. The Pistons organization released a brief statement saying they are "aware of the situation" but cannot comment on an ongoing legal matter.
