Marvin Sapp Turns Viral Controversy Into A Song — But Not Everyone’s Praising Him

As we previously told you, on Nov. 5, the 24-year-old reportedly died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Frisco Police Department. Prior to his death per NBC DFW, the Texas Department of Public Safety tried to stop the car the young player was driving for a traffic violation late in the night. Kneeland allegedly kept going, leading authorities in an alleged pursuit.

After shaking them off, Kneeland reportedly crashed into another car before his vehicle eventually came to rest on the Dallas Parkway. Local police later claimed that the young player walked away from the scene of the crash on foot. He was later located at 1:31 a.m. dead of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

To make matters even sadder is the fact that Kneeland’s girlfriend had alerted authorities that he called and told her he would “end it all” earlier that evening, that he was armed and had a history of mental health issues.

Now, in a new report obtained by TMZ on Monday (Nov. 24), local police have revealed that when they searched Kneeland’s car at the crash site, they found an empty holster but the gun was gone. They also claimed that when they were on their high-speed chase to get Kneeland to pull over, they observed him making “several unsafe lane changes” and going faster than “145 miles per hour.”

What’s more is that police said that they used K-9s and an aircraft in an attempt to locate Kneeland. Sadly, their efforts would prove to be a little too late as they would later find him deceased several hours later after getting a heat signature inside a portable toilet.

The Cowboys’ honored Kneeland during their Sunday game against the Philadelphia Eagles, where the team played a touching video tribute. Fellow teammate Osa Odighizuwa also paid tribute to him by coming onto the field with a No. 94 flag during pregame warmups, according to the Dallas Morning News.
