Overview

  • Authorities say Kneeland died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, with officers locating his body at 1:31 a.m. CT on Nov. 6.
  • Texas DPS records state his vehicle reached speeds above 145 mph before crashing on Dallas Parkway, after which he fled on foot and was found hours later.
  • The autopsy was completed on Nov. 18, but the Texas Attorney General’s office and Frisco police are withholding the report due to a pending criminal investigation.
  • Western Michigan University police records show welfare checks in 2020 and 2023 over suicidal concerns, including a coach-initiated firearms review that led to a temporary surrender of his gun.
  • The Cowboys and NFL held leaguewide tributes, and Dallas created a memorial fund for his girlfriend and family as the team continues support efforts.
