New evidence suggests that Rashee Rice may have been at a bar with family and friends before one of his vehicles was implicated in a serious vehicular accident in Dallas, according to photos obtained by TMZ.
The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver could potentially face legal repercussions as it appears he fled the scene of the crash before authorities arrived.
TMZ obtained photos reportedly taken in Dallas, showing Rice alongside his mother, Marcha Kearney, and others on Saturday.
In one photo, Rice is seen posing with his mother, while another shows him standing among others who seem to be raising drinks in a toast. While it’s unclear if Rice had a drink in hand from the photo, witnesses allegedly informed TMZ that he was present and in good spirits.

These photos place Rice only six miles away from the accident scene, and the clothing and jewelry he wore resembled what one of the individuals observed fleeing the site was wearing.
Although authorities have not confirmed whether Rice was directly involved in the collision, one of the vehicles at the scene is registered under his name.
Additionally, there are photos and videos captured shortly after the accident depicting males leaving the area. In one clip, bystanders question the individuals about abandoning their cars, but they offer no response except for one individual who mentioned experiencing chest pain.
Following the incident on Saturday evening, Dallas police initiated a search for Rashee Rice.
The wide receiver reportedly sought legal representation on Sunday night. On Monday, attorney Royce West released a statement on Rice’s behalf, stating: “On behalf of Rashee Rice, his thoughts are with everyone impacted by the automobile accident on Saturday. Rashee is cooperating with local authorities and will take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly.”
