Houston police are investigating allegations that Rockets' forward Eddie Griffin beat his girlfriend and shot at her at his southwest Houston home early today.
Joann Romero, 21, was not hit by the gunfire, but told officers Griffin shot at her twice, police officials said.
..."She says she will prosecute," Wright said, but added, "no one saw him do it. It's just going to be her word against his."
...A Houston police report states an officer noticed "serious injuries" to Romero's "facial area," Wright said.
...After receiving Romero's call at 5:03 a.m. at HPD's Northwest Patrol station, officers went to Griffin's home, where a relative claimed not to have seen the assault and said he didn't know where Griffin was, Wright said. Police supervisors found blood on the driveway and two shell casings in front of the house, Wright said.
...Police found Griffin's cousin and another woman at the home in an upscale Houston neighborhood this morning. The cousin told police he hadn't seen or heard anything, Wright said.
The woman at the home, however, told police Griffin had been downstairs talking with a female and had "beat the woman up and shot at her," Wright said.
