Former Los Angeles Lakers star Christian Wood was awarded sole custody of his 2-year-old son and a temporary restraining order against his ex-girlfriend Yasmine Lopez after accusing her of potentially playing a role in an attempt on his life, Us Weekly can exclusively report. Lopez adamantly denied the accusations and asked for court protection against Wood. She also disputed Wood has sole custody. On November 19, Wood, 30, who shares a son named Kobe Sean Wood with Lopez, 26, filed a petition for a restraining order asking the court to order her to stay 100 yards away from him and their son. (Wood and Lopez started dating in August 2022 and split in December 2022.) In his filing, Wood claimed that on November 5, when he was home alone, he heard "noises and movement around my home." "I cautiously exited the restroom and immediately saw three men trying to break into my home. In fear for my life, I quickly ran to obtain a firearm I keep locked in my home. I discharged my firearm toward the floor, in hopes it would scare the men away," Wood said. "I genuinely believed I was going to die." Wood said the men escaped in a car, and nothing was stolen. He said there have been no break-ins in a 10-mile radius. He pointed out this happened "when someone knew I would be home in broad daylight." "The only reasonable conclusion is that they were there to kill me," Wood said. The athlete called law enforcement and said the police launched an investigation.

He said that she was being "extremely vague and would not agree to any visitation for that week." He said she finally agreed that he could pick up their son from school on November 4. He said when he arrived at the school, he was told Lopez had already picked up their kid. "Ms. Lopez's decision to keep our son away from me now stands out as alarming to me, given what occurred the very next day," he wrote. In addition, Wood said that one hour before the shooting Lopez posted something odd on social media. He claimed she posted a "a violent King Von song with a gun emoji."

"This post was highly unusual for Ms. Lopez, suspicious in timing, and deeply disturbing given what happened shortly after." Wood added, "The coincidence, combined with her prior threats, history of violence, and the custody interference the day prior, leads me to reasonably believe it is more likely than not that she is responsible and/or connected to the attempt on my life." The NBA star said his ex "has made repeated statements threatening my life and expressing that she wants me dead." Wood told the court that in other messages sent by Lopez, "she goes on to say that she hopes I die and she will tell our son that I am dead. Ms. Lopez continues with her messages by saying she hopes someone shoots me." His declaration continued, "These threats were not isolated or emotional outbursts, they are a pattern of her hostility, fixation, retaliation, and intimidation."

Wood also alleged he had received threats from one of Lopez's family members in the weeks leading up to the shooting. He told the court that Lopez had previously broken into and vandalized his home in August 2023. He said the police removed her from the property. Wood said he no longer "feels safe in my own home." In his filing, he said he has "had to hire armed security for my personal protection." "I am living in constant fear and hyper-awareness, worried that another attempt could happen," he said. "I am terrified not only for myself, but for the safety of our son should he be returned to her care during this investigation.

Wood was awarded temporary sole custody of Kobe. In a separate court filing, Lopez denied she had any involvement in the attempted break-in and said she learned about the attempted robbery on the day it happened. She said, "I was told that three men were seen trying to enter his house, and that Christian allegedly fired three shots, causing the suspects to flee." "Police later found Christian in possession of an illegal ghost gun. Before this incident, I did not know he owned or had access to any unregistered firearm," Lopez noted. Lopez claimed that in the weeks leading up to November 5, Wood's "home environment and the people around him made me increasingly uneasy." Christian Woo
