"Former NFL running back Doug Martin spent his final moments alive Saturday morning wandering in the dark through the backyards and banging on the front doors of his neighbors' houses in the Oakland hills, sources told the Bay Area News Group. Martin's subsequent death after what police described as a brief struggle with officers inside one of those homes sent shockwaves through the city, stunning those who recalled the former All-Pro running back's quick burst on the football turf and easygoing temperament off of it."
"Multiple people called 911 around 4:15 a.m. Saturday, as Martin went door-to-door on the 11000 block of Ettrick Street, sources said. He had been staying in a longtime family home on that block, which sits atop an Oakland hills neighborhood near the Oakland Zoo. Police initially received a call about a person breaking into a home on that street, which a source said had been occupied at the time."
