Kneeland was reportedly found dead with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound early Thursday following a brief police pursuit that ended when police lost sight of Kneeland’s vehicle, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. He was later found dead in the immediate area of his abandoned vehicle.

Police had initially been dispatched to respond to “a welfare concern” at Kneeland’s residence around 11:40 p.m. CT on Wednesday, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram . They did not make contact with anyone there. The Cowboys confirmed his death with a statement Thursday morning.

“It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning,” the Cowboys said in a brief statement. “Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family.”
