Heartbreaking Final Text Dallas Cowboys Star Marshawn Kneeland Sent To His Family Before His Death At 24
The Dallas Cowboys great Marshawn Kneeland’s tragic last text message to his family before passing away has been made public.
Days after the 24-year-old scored a fiery touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys revealed on Thursday, November 6, that the rising star defensive end in Texas had passed away.
The Kneeland family also released a statement confirming the passing of their “beloved” Marshawn, saying they “are devastated by this tremendous loss and are still processing the depth of our grief.”
It continued: “As Marshawn was making his mark on the football field with the Dallas Cowboys, he held an even more special place off the field — as a devoted son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, grandson, and friend. He was kind, determined, humble, and full of love.”
“His light shone brightly in every life he touched, and his spirit will continue to live on through the countless hearts he inspired.”
“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends, fans, and the community. During this difficult time, we ask for privacy as we come together as a family to honor and remember Marshawn’s life and legacy.”
Before he passed away, Kneeland sent a final text message to his family, according to police dispatch audio that PEOPLE was able to obtain.
“They just received a text from him, a group text from him saying goodbye,” authorities can be heard saying on the dispatch.
“They’re concerned for his welfare.”
According to one dispatcher, Catalina, Kneeland’s girlfriend, informed police she was attempting to contact his agent, Jonathan Perzley.
“She’s trying to call his agent,” a dispatcher says.
“So we’re trying to get him to call 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.’”
Since then, the Frisco Police Department has told the public about the unfortunate events, which they believe to be suicide.
According to the officers, Kneeland had been involved in a ‘outside agency car pursuit that led to a multi-agency search in Frisco’ before his death.
Three hours after being involved in the police pursuit, Kneeland’s body was discovered in Frisco, close to his car, at 1.31 in the morning.
Kneeland was tragically discovered with what seemed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he had fled his car on foot.
The department continued, “The cause/manner of death will be determined by the Collin County Medical Examiner’s Office.”
