New details emerged about the police chase that took place before Marshawn Kneeland's death by suicide earlier this month.
The former Cowboys defensive end was driving over 145 miles per hour on Nov. 5 , crashed into another vehicle and subsequently fled on foot, according to a police report obtained by TMZ Sports.
A Texas Department of Public Safety officer saw Kneeland driving recklessly, swerving between lanes and passing other cars around 10:33 p.m., per the report, and attempted to pull him over.
But Kneeland reportedly did not comply, and the officer subsequently lost sight of the Cowboys star's Dodge Charger.
Police say they found the Charger a few minutes later, crashed into another vehicle on a grass field next to Dallas Parkway, though Kneeland was no longer there, the outlet reported.
After hours of searching for Kneeland, police found him inside a portable toilet with a fatal, self-inflicted gunshot wound around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 6.
He was 24 years old.
His girlfriend, Catalina, told cops that Kneeland, a second-round pick by the Cowboys in 2024, had messaged her to say goodbye earlier in the night.
She told 911 operators he was "armed" and she was concerned he would "end it all," according to audio obtained by TMZ Sports.
"We're talking to the girlfriend, she's trying to call the agent, so we're trying to get her to call him first but she's saying he is armed and has a history of mental illness, and her quote was, 'He will end it all,' " the dispatcher said in the two-minute-plus audio.
The Cowboys honored Kneeland during their 33-16 win over the Raiders on Monday night at Allegiant Stadium.
"Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization," The Cowboys previously said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family."
A new report emerged earlier this week stating that police twice did welfare checks on Kneeland during his time with Western Michigan over concerns about him possessing a gun and having suicidal thoughts.
