FOX 4 in Dallas recently uncovered details from a police report shedding light on an alleged altercation involving Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice.
The latest incident involving Rice reportedly took place at a nightclub, where Rice is accused of assaulting a photographer.
The report indicates that the photographer claimed Rice was interested in his services. After leaving the venue, Rice allegedly summoned the man back.
After asking to view something on his cellphone, the photographer was allegedly struck in the face by Rice.
“The Complainant…said that on May 6, 2025, at approximately 1:30 AM he was at Lit Kitchen and Lounge located at 609 N Hardwood St for an after-hours party, which he left shortly after. The Complainant said that he was in his car driving away from the location, where at approximately 1:56 AM Suspect…sent the Complainant a message on Instagram, asking the Complainant where he was at and asking the Complainant to return back to Lit Kitchen and Lounge,” the police report stated.
“The Complainant said that at the time he believed the Suspect wanted to hire him to take pictures. The Complainant said that as the returned back to the location, he was made aware of where the Suspect was at by other members of the Suspect’s entourage.
“The Complainant said that he located the Suspect, and the Suspect asked him to look at Suspect’s cellphone; Which [sic] were messages sent by the Complainant and another individual by the Instagram name of [redacted]. The Complainant said that as he was looking down at the Suspect’s cellphone, Suspected the Complainant on the left side of the Complainant’s face.”
After the alleged incident, the photographer had “visible swelling on one side of his face.”
“[o]n social media, doubt has been cast on the narrative in the hours since the allegation first surfaced Tuesday,” and that “[t]wo civilians with knowledge of the incident told The (Dallas Morning) News a verbal altercation occurred at the club, but there was no physical contact.
“When he arrived at the club, Rice allegedly told the victim to look at his phone. When he did, Rice punched him on the left side of his face, according to the report.”
This incident compounds Rice’s ongoing legal troubles stemming from a vehicular accident in Dallas on March 30.
Allegedly driving at 119 MPH, Rice was implicated in a collision involving six vehicles, resulting in injuries to four individuals, two of whom required hospitalization.
Surveillance footage captured Rice and his friends fleeing the scene.
Subsequently, on April 11, the 24-year-old turned himself in to authorities.
Amidst these legal troubles, Rice’s future with the Chiefs appears increasingly uncertain.
Once hailed as a rising star after his contributions to Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory this past February, Rice now faces potential ramifications from both the legal system and the NFL.
The Chiefs recent acquisition of Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and selection of Xavier Worthy in the first-round of the draft suggest a contingency plan without Rice.
While Coach Andy Reid has deferred comment, emphasizing legal due process, the team’s actions hint at a possible severance of ties with the embattled wide receiver, depending on the outcome of the legal proceedings.
