Marshawn Kneeland was a 24-year-old defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys, who was drafted by the team in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft from Western Michigan University. He was in his second season with the team at the time of his death.
The search spiked tragically on November 6, 2025, following the confirmation of his death. Authorities reported that Kneeland was found deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police pursuit stemming from a traffic violation. Police had received information that the player had expressed suicidal thoughts.
The news elicited widespread grief and shock across the NFL and Dallas Cowboys community, with the team expressing extreme sadness for the loss of a 'beloved teammate.' His death immediately prompted the NFL and NFLPA to announce an increase in mental health resources available to players.
