A day after Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph met with Dallas police, two arrests were made in connection with the March 18 death of Cameron Ray.
On Saturday, police announced the arrests of Aries Jones, 28, and Tivione English, 21, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in connection with the murder.
Joseph’s attorney, Barry Sorrels, said Friday that Joseph was a passenger in a vehicle where shots were fired that killed a man last month, but he was not the gunman.
According to surveillance video released by Dallas police, there was an incident between two groups of friends, including Joseph and Ray. Shots later erupted from a passing SUV as 20-year-old Ray and his friends walked to their car. At 2:01 a.m., police responded to a shooting at the 3600 block of Greenville Avenue and found Ray. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he died.
According to multiple sources, the Cowboys had encouraged Joseph to meet with police to find out what he knew about the incident. On Friday, the Cowboys released a statement on the situation:
“The Dallas Cowboys are aware of the tragic incident that occurred on March 18th in Dallas. First and foremost, our hearts go out to Mr. Ray’s family and loved ones. The organization is aware of Kelvin Joseph’s possible connection to this incident. We are in contact with Dallas law enforcement and have notified the NFL office. We currently have no further comment.
A league spokesman said the matter would be reviewed under the league’s personal conduct policy.
The Cowboys selected Joseph in the second round of the 2021 draft. He made 10 two-start games last season.
