Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph, was traveling in a vehicle from which a man received a fatal shot a couple of months ago, reported the player’s lawyer.
Cameron Ray, 20, was shot around 2am on March 18 in front of a nightclub in the Lower Greenville entertainment district in Old East Dallas, according to a Dallas police statement.
A recently released video showed two groups, one of which was part of Ray, involved in a brief altercation outside the nightspot. In the images you can see a Black SUV driven by Joseph’s group, and shots were fired from at least one of its windows, wounding Ray, who died a short time later at a nearby hospital.
