Gian Davis, 30, died after a confrontation with two men law-enforcement sources say he tried to rob.
A Newark man died after a tussle with a former high school wrestler he tried to rob early Saturday, NBC New York has learned.
Law-enforcement sources told NBC New York that 30-year-old Gian Davis approached two men near Bloomfield Avenue at about 1:15 a.m. and asked for change.
When the men said "no," he then asked to borrow a cell phone, grabbed it and tried to run off with it, sources said.
One of the men lunged to get the phone back and Davis put him in a headlock, according to sources. Then, sources say the other man, a former high school wrestler, pulled Davis off his friend and put the would-be robber in a headlock.
It was strong enough that Davis apparently choked to death, sources familiar with the investigation said.
Then and Now More Photos and Videos A source said the two men called police and then stayed on the scene until authorities arrived. Davis was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
Tom Fennelly, chief assistant Essex County prosecutor, would only confirm that an investigation is ongoing.
No charges have been filed against the former wrestler or his friend. Their names have not been released.
Fennelly said they are cooperating with the investigation.
Davis had prior arrests for aggravated assault and theft. He was released from his last stint in jail on July 22.

Holy shit! No cell phone is worth killing someone over. Self-defense or not, I hope those dudes get manslaughter. Of course, MMA makes this shit popular without teaching people that holding the RNC long enough ALWAYS results in death. Thanks, Dana White. How about a Don't Try This At Home campaign like the WWE had for a while.
So the deceased family spokesman decided to take the families pleads to this here red board. Sorry Kenny, but criminals have been killing people for their, Air Jordans, ipads, cell phones...etc for along time.
Seems, if you're given that name you're destined to end up as a worthless piece of shit that will get wasted in comic fashion.
Authorities have identified the teenaged boy who was accidentally shot to death this morning while cruising suburban Boynton Beach in a stolen car with his buddies intent on robbery.
Gian Davis, 15, was taken to Delray Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, said Palm Beach County Sheriff's spokesman Eric Davis.
The two other teens he was with, ages 14 and 16, are still being questioned by detectives. Their names have not been released.
Davis said the teens are from the Coral Gables area, and were driving through the Heron Pointe apartment in a stolen black BMW looking for someone to rob. A boy seated behind the driver began fooling with the gun and he accidentally fired it into the driver's back, Davis said.
He wuz a good boy, turning his life around. They didn'tz have to kill him.
