Two arrests in shooting involving Cowboy
Two men were arrested in a fatal shooting from a vehicle in which a Dallas Cowboys player was riding, police in Dallas said Saturday.
Dallas cornerback Kelvin Joseph is not mentioned in a news release that said Aries Jones, 28, and Tivione English, 21, were identified as the shooters and arrested.
Police did not immediately return a phone call from the Associated Press on Saturday seeking comment.
On Friday, a Dallas police spokesman declined to confirm Joseph’s involvement in the case, but the Dallas Morning News reported police detectives have interviewed the 22-year-old player.
Joseph’s attorney, Barry Sorrels, said Friday that Joseph was a passenger in the SUV from which the shots were fired March 18 but was unarmed and did not shoot the victim, Cameron Ray.
