Earlier this month, Cowboys player Kelvin Joseph was questioned by Dallas police about a fatal drive-by shooting. Two men have since been arrested, Joseph not being one of them.
Two suspects have been arrested in relation to the crime: 28-year-old Aries Jones and 21-year-old Tivione English. The two were arrested in connection to a drive-by shooting that resulted in the death of Cameron Ray.
Joseph, meanwhile, does not face any charges and will not be arrested. Although his lawyer did confess the Cowboys player was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the crime.
“Update in Homicide at 3600 Greenville Avenue On April 16, 2022, Dallas Police arrested 28-year-old Aries Jones and 21-year-old Tivione English, of Baton Rouge, LA, in connection to the homicide at 3600 Greenville Avenue,” the Dallas Police Dept. announced.
