Marshawn Kneeland’s girlfriend alerted cops revealing his struggles? Audio dispatch reveals haunting final moments before Cowboys’ tragic death

Dallas Cowboys star Marshawn Kneeland allegedly died by suicide at the age of 24. In his final moments, his girlfriend, Catalina, revealed her struggle by calling the police. According to US Weekly, Marshawn Kneeland’s girlfriend called the police on Wednesday, November 5, to get help from Kneeland before he died by suicide in the early morning hours of Thursday, November 6. Following the incident, disturbing police audio also emerged revealing that Marshawn Kneeland was “armed” and that his girlfriend was worried he was “going to end it all,” according to the audio recording.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced Thursday morning that Kneeland died from a “self-inflicted gunshot wound.” “We’re talking to his girlfriend, he’s trying to call his manager, so we’re trying to get him to call her first, but she says he’s armed and has a history of mental illness, and his line was, ‘He’s going to end it all,'” the officer said in the more than two-minute audio recording obtained by TMZ Sports.

Marshawn Kneeland had a ‘history of illness’

Catalina told authorities Marshawn Kneeland had a “history of mental illness.” The call also included a warning from a dispatcher. The person in question said, “You all do me a favor, everyone stay with a friend, don’t go searching alone, this man is armed.”
Kneeland is said to have texted his family “goodbye,” according to the New York Post. “… I just got a group text from him saying goodbye, they’re concerned for his welfare, they don’t have keys to the apartment,” another officer said in the clip, which apparently began mid-sentence.

Frisco police said they received information that Kneeland, who they said fled on foot, was “intent on suicide” and found him dead at 1:31 a.m. The audio recording indicated they found him in a portable toilet near a building. “We saw no movement, still got heat signature, looks like he was curled up at the bottom of the porta potty,” the dispatcher said. “With the blood flow from the porta potty.”
