Police are investigating former Michigan linebacker Elysee Mbem-Bosse after he sent out a series of potentially threatening tweets on Monday night. At the end of one thread, Mbem-Bosse lamented that he was suspended for “going to take care of my family” and tagged head coach Jim Harbaugh in the comments.

Reddit user NashvilleBLUE42 captured screenshots of Mbem-Bosse’s tweets in which he hinted at a “murder case” and repeated that Michigan was “open carry.”

Neither Michigan nor Harbaugh have commented on the tweets. Mbem-Bosse, who initially signed with the Wolverines out of Cedar Grove (Ga.) High School as a three-star prospect according to the 247Sports composite rankings, appeared as a linebacker and on special teams for Michigan in 2017, his sophomore season. Deadspin points out that he is not listed on the team's roster this spring. Although he referenced a suspension, there is no record of the 20-year-old ever being suspended.
