Rashee Rice reportedly under investigation for hitting photographer (Updated)

(Ed. note (5/9): This story has been updated with new details.)

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been identified as a person under investigation by Dallas police for a new offseason incident that allegedly happened at a nightclub called Lit Kitchen. Specifically, Dallas authorities are reportedly looking into allegations that Rice hit a photographer at the club on Monday.

No charges have yet been filed, but new information arose from the Dallas Morning News on Thursday from a police report obtained by the newspaper alleging that a "suspect" matching the age, height, and weight of Rashee Rice lured a photographer to the club after he'd already left via Instagram messages inviting him back only to hit him upon his arrival.

Rashee Rice has been linked to a new offseason investigation in Dallas, this time for allegedly hitting a photographer.

Per the Morning News, no one involved was willing to comment on the report—neither Rice, his attorney, or the photographer.

Rice is already awaiting the legal process to play out from his role stemming from a multi-vehicle accident caused by his reckless driving earlier this offseason in Dallas. Authorities levied eight official felony charges against him in conjunction with that incident including one count of aggravated assault, six counts of collision involving bodily injury, an done count of collision involving serious bodily injury.

The NFL and the Chiefs have remained silent on anything related to Rice other than to state they will wait for the legal process to play out. Rice is out on bond at the current moment and will also face civil suits related to damages and injuries from the accident.

Rice was a second-round selection of the Chiefs in the 2023 NFL Draft as a wide receiver out of SMU. He came close to setting Chiefs rookie records for most receiving yards last year with 938.
