"On the night Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland died, the team's director of security, Cable Johnson, called law enforcement to ask for a welfare check on Kneeland and to tell police Kneeland had sent a text saying he didn't want to go to jail. Kneeland died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound last week. Police found his body in the early morning last Thursday after he had evaded officers during a pursuit and fled on foot."
"Highway surveillance video obtained by ESPN via a public records request seeking footage related to Kneeland, shows a car that appears to be speeding northbound on the Dallas North Tollway, in some instances pursued by a police vehicle. The car then appears to exit the highway onto a parallel access road and turn left onto an overpass to make a U-turn south."
The team's director of security, Cable Johnson, called law enforcement to request a welfare check and reported that Kneeland had sent a text saying he did not want to go to jail. Johnson said Kneeland sent group texts that appeared concerning and like goodbyes, suggesting possible mental-health issues. Kneeland died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after evading officers during a pursuit and fleeing on foot. Frisco police responded after the Texas Department of Public Safety asked for help locating a car that had evaded police at 10:39 p.m. Highway surveillance footage shows the car speeding on the Dallas North Tollway, exiting to a parallel access road and making a U-turn south near The Star headquarters.
