DALLAS, TX (WTVQ) – Former University of Kentucky cornerback Kelvin Joseph, who was a rookie last season with the Dallas Cowboys, was interviewed Friday by police detectives in Dallas in connection to a murder in the city in March, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Investigators say security camera video appears to show Joseph among a group of people who fought with 20-year old Cameron Ray on the same night Ray was shot and killed following the fight on March 18, 2022.

Joseph’s attorney, Barry Sorrels, says Joseph was riding in a vehicle from which the shot was fired that killed Ray, but that Joseph was unarmed and did not shoot the man.

Sorrels says Joseph “found himself in a situation that escalated without his knowledge or consent.”

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly looking into Joseph’s involvement.

Joseph was a second-round selection of the Cowboys in 2021. He started two games, played in ten and had 16 tackles in his rookie season with Dallas.

In college, he played in 20 games, 11 at LSU and nine at Kentucky.

He started nine games in his lone season at UK in 2020.

He finished with 25 total tackles, four interceptions, a PBU and a tackle for loss at UK.

In 2020, he was named Fourth-Team All-SEC (Phil Steele).

In 2019, he made the First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll.
