Tobias (Bloi-Dei) Dorzon : The Road to Recovery

[Stats Junkie]

Tobias Dorzon played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2012 as Bloi-Dei Dorzon.


For Tobias Dorzon, the night of Nov. 5, 2024, began like any other date night. Known for his appearances on the Food Network and named 2024 Maryland Chef of the Year, Dorzon, 40, juggles the demands of his two busy restaurants — Huncho House and 1123 by Chef Tobias — while keeping up a standing tradition of biweekly date nights with his long-distance girlfriend, Crystal Swan, who had just flown into town...

... After dinner, the couple took a 30-minute Uber ride back to Dorzon's home in Hyattsville, Md. When the car pulled up, Dorzon noticed another vehicle stop directly behind them. He didn't think much of it, assuming it would drive around once their Uber moved. But as he stepped out to open the car door for his girlfriend, he saw the back doors of the other car swing open and several people emerge, guns drawn. Moments later, the suspects began shooting. Ironically, it was the one night he had gone out without his security detail...

... Somehow, he was able to FaceTime his brother, propping his phone on the curb where he was laying to tell him what was happening. Dorzon had been shot 11 times and his girlfriend had also been hit, collapsing on the front lawn. A neighbor called 911, but after that, things got hazy for him.

Why does a chef require a security detail?

Pretty crazy. Glad he's okay after such a heinous incident.

I had no idea he became a successful chef and TV celebrity. It's always neat to see where life takes these former Bombers after football.
