Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph was a passenger in a vehicle that fired shots that killed a man last month, but he was not the shooter, according to his lawyer Barry Sorels.
“Calvin Joseph did not shoot Cameron Ray,” Sorels told The Dallas Morning News. “Mr. Ray’s death is a tragedy and Kelvin expresses his deepest condolences on the loss of his family. On the night of March 17, Kelvin was unarmed and did not seek violence. He found himself in a situation that escalated without his knowledge or consent. To the condolences of Ray’s family, Kelvin apologizes to the Dallas community for being close to this type of incident. The investigation is ongoing and we intend to respect the process. “
Dallas police want to talk to Joseph about the March 18 shooting that killed Cameron Ray, 20, dead.
According to a surveillance video released by Dallas police, there was an incident between two groups of friends, including Joseph and Ray. Later, footage of a passing jeep appeared as Ray and his friends walked to their car. At 2:01 a.m., police responded to a shooting at Block 3600 on Greenville Avenue and found Ray. He was transported to the district hospital, where he died.
Earlier this week on KDFW-TV, police asked the public for help in identifying men involved in the brawl. A man wore a necklace with the letters “YKDV”. Joseph is named YKDV Bossman Fat as a rapper. YKDV stands for You Know Da Vibe.
According to many sources, the Cowboys encouraged Joseph to meet with police about what he knew about the incident. That meeting has not yet taken place, as Sorels told Morning News that he would discuss the issue “later at a more appropriate time.”
On Friday, the Cowboys issued a statement on the situation:
“The Dallas Cowboys are aware of the tragic incident that took place in Dallas on March 18. First of all, our hearts are with Mr. Ray’s family and loved ones. The organization is aware of the possible connection of Kelvin Joseph with this incident. We are in contact with law enforcement in Dallas and have notified the NFL office. We have no further comments at this time. “
A league spokesman said the issue was being reviewed in line with the league’s personal conduct policy.
The Cowboys selected Joseph in the second round of the 2021 Draft. He played in 10 games with two starts.
