An increased police presence will be visible in the Oklahoma City neighborhood of Nichols Hills, where his home is located, for Halloween on Friday and in the coming weeks, police said, and that there is “no reason to believe the public is in any danger.”
In February, federal authorities charged seven men who allegedly burglarized the homes of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Joe Burrow, among other athletes. According to the complaint, the men, all Chilean nationals, are part of a South American theft group that targeted professional athletes, stealing more than $2 million of property.

Athletes including Ketel Marte, Andre Johnson, Olivier Giroud and Luka Dončić, among others, have also seen their homes burglarized in the past year.
The 27-year-old Gilgeous-Alexander was selected 11th overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2018 NBA draft. A draft-day trade sent him to the Los Angeles Clippers, where he played one season before being dealt again the following offseason to the Thunder. The Toronto native is a three-time All-NBA first teamer and was the 2025 NBA scoring champion and league MVP, as well as NBA Finals MVP after leading Oklahoma City to its first NBA title last season.
