A new video of the police and Marshawn Kneeland in a wild chase before his death released.
A newly released video showing the moments before Marshawn Kneeland’s death has sparked serious concern and intense public reaction. The footage, involving police in a high-speed chase has left many viewers unsettled and searching for answers. It is painful to watch. It is even harder to accept.
The Texas Department of Public Safety shared the body and dash cam footage from the Nov. 5 incident … which showed cops chasing his vehicle around 10:30 PM, initially believing it was stolen.
24-year-old Kneeland was allegedly driving up to 160 MPH while behind the wheel … and struck another vehicle before ending up in a grassy area off the road.
Cameras captured the accident … and the clip shows an individual running from the scene.
Crazy things went down before the NFL player’s demise.
Cops spoke to the woman whose vehicle Kneeland hit … and she said she was driving her SUV when she noticed his Charger approaching.
“I saw him in my rearview mirror coming as fast as he was. I was like, ‘Oh my God, he’s not stopping’ and then he just plowed into me,” the woman said.
In the footage, officers are heard speaking about the “goodbye” messages Kneeland was sending his loved ones. At one point, others are shown viewing his information online … even making the connection he suited up for the NFL team the night prior.
Tragically, Kneeland was eventually found inside a portable toilet … deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
The community has expressed heartbreak and frustration. Family and friends are grieving deeply. Advocates are calling for accountability.
This is not just a headline. It is a tragedy. A real person lost their life. Behind the chase was someone with hopes, fears, and people who loved him.
The release of the video may help bring clarity. It may lead to justice or reform. But today, it simply brings sadness.
