Marshawn Kneeland's girlfriend welcomes baby boy 7 months after his death
Mancera shared photos of Makhai and a video honoring Kneeland, seven months after the Dallas Cowboys defensive end died by suicide.
On Monday, Catalina Mancera announced the birth of her son, Makhai, born June 11, seven months after the death of Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland.
Kneeland, 24, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on November 5, 2025, during an apparent mental health episode following a police pursuit in Frisco, Texas.
Mancera shared photos of the infant wearing a onesie featuring Kneeland's Dallas Cowboys jersey, while former teammates and NFL figures offered public congratulations on the post.
Coach Brian Schottenheimer remembered Kneeland as "the most playful spirit of any young man" as the Dallas Cowboys established the Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund in November.
