Marshawn Kneeland died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a police chase, according to multiple contemporary reports and official statements cited by major outlets. He was 24 years old, and the events unfolded after Frisco Police and Texas DPS pursued a vehicle that had eluded officers and later crashed; Kneeland was later found deceased in the vicinity with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Official determinations regarding the exact cause and manner of death were pending authorization from the Collin County Medical Examiner’s Office at the time of initial reporting, but subsequent outlets uniformly characterize the death as an apparent suicide connected to the preceding pursuit. The Dallas Cowboys organization expressed deep sorrow and asked for privacy for Kneeland’s girlfriend and family during the difficult time. If you’d like, I can summarize the timeline of events as reported by the police and medical examiner updates, or provide guidance on reliable sources for updates as the case develops.
