Dallas police are attempting to interview a Dallas Cowboys player as part of their investigation into the fatal shooting of a man outside a bar last month, a report said.
Cornerback Kelvin Joseph, who team officials do not believe was the shooter, had been involved in an argument outside the OT Tavern in Old East Dallas the same night when 20-year-old Cameron Ray got into a drive-by at the location was gunned down, multiple sources told the Dallas Morning News.
Joseph, a 2021 second-round pick, may have been spotted on surveillance footage in the bar mingling with the same group of people who later got into an argument with Ray before the victim was shot and killed on March 18, sources in the report.
The cornerback is also known by his rapper alias “YKDV Bossman Fat.” Surveillance footage obtained by Fox 4 the night of the shooting shows a man wearing an apparent YKDV necklace standing with a group in the OT tavern, the report said.

The same group was later spotted in other surveillance footage that night fighting with Ray outside the establishment.
Shortly after the feud, the victim walked away before being shot by a gunman firing from a passing car.
The Cowboys declined to comment to the Dallas Morning News. But sources told the newspaper that team officials are encouraging Joseph to speak to investigators.
