Kelvin Joseph was a passenger in a vehicle from which gunshots were fired that killed a man last month, but he was not the shooter, which is what his attorney Barry Sorrels has said.
“Kelvin Joseph did not shoot Cameron Ray,” Sorrels told The Dallas Morning News. “Mr. Ray’s death is a tragedy, and Kelvin extends his deepest condolences for the family’s loss. On the night of March 17, Kelvin was unarmed and was not looking for violence. He found himself in a situation that escalated without his knowledge or consent. Along with condolences to the Ray family, Kelvin apologizes to the Dallas community for being anywhere near this type of incident. The investigation is ongoing, and we intend to respect the process.”
Dallas police want to speak with Joseph regarding the March 18 shooting that left Cameron Ray, 20, dead. Joseph is not a suspect, but was characterized as a “person of interest.”
“The Dallas Cowboys are aware of the tragic incident that occurred in Dallas on March 18,” the team said in a statement. “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 alerted the NFL office. We have no further comment at this time.”
According to a surveillance video released by Dallas police, an incident can be clearly seen between two groups of friends that included Joseph and Ray. Following a fistfight, shots came from an SUV passing by as Ray and his friends walked to their car. He was transported to an area hospital, where he died.
