Nothing is official but the evidence looks clear.

The Lamborghini crashed into a center median wall, causing a six-car accident. Both drivers fled the scene without providing any information, while two others involved in the accident sustained minor injuries and were hospitalized. Although no arrests have been made, Rice is currently being investigated.
Rice, born on April 22, 2000, is an American football wide receiver who played college football at SMU. He was selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft. In his rookie year, Rice emerged as the Chiefs’ most reliable wideout, making 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns.
He holds the NFL record for the most playoff receptions by a rookie, with 26 catches during the Super Bowl run.
While he has not been named as a suspect by the Dallas police, the outcome of this investigation could have implications for Rice’s NFL career.
As an integral part of the Chiefs’ 2024 receiving corps, Rice’s involvement in this incident may lead to a possible NFL suspension. Despite his impressive on-field performance, Rice now faces questions off the field. The situation is still unfolding.
On April 1, Rice hired legal counsel and is said to be cooperating with local authorities. On March 31, it was reported that the police were searching for Rice in connection with the crash. The accident involved a Chevrolet Corvette believed to be registered or leased to Rice, and both drivers were speeding before losing control of their vehicles.
Rice’s rookie season showcased his talent, but his involvement in this incident raises concerns for the Chiefs and his future in the NFL. The team has had previous issues with their wide receivers, and Rice stepped up to become their most reliable option. However, the outcome of the investigation could potentially lead to an NFL suspension for the 23-year-old athlete.

If he’s wrong, he’s wrong, but any competent lawyer can create reasonable doubt with these images.

Also look at the guy with the orange shirt and the guy with pic tail on the table behind them. He was probably taking picture with fans while at a Restaurant

Has he turned himself in yet? If not what is he waiting for? Does he think everyone will just leave him alone & forget about this? 🤡
