Former NFL cornerback Kelvin Joseph was arrested after he was allegedly involved in a crash that killed a female motorcyclist in Texas, police said.

Richardson police announced on social media that Joseph reported his involvement in the crash that occurred in the early hours of Saturday. 

“Richardson Police Department Officers contacted Joseph and determined he was northbound on North Central Expressway in a BMW sedan when he was involved in a collision with the motorcycle,” police said. “While speaking with Joseph, officers observed signs of intoxication. Joseph was subsequently arrested and charged with Driving While Intoxicated (Misdemeanor B) and Collision Involving Personal Injury or Death (2nd Degree Felony).”

Police add that Cody Morris, a 27-year-old from Plano, died in the crash.

Joseph was a second-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 after playing for both LSU and Kentucky in college. 

He played 10 games his rookie year in Dallas (two starts) with 16 combined tackles and two passes defended over that time. However, a serious off-the-field issue occurred during the 2022 offseason.

Joseph was a passenger inside a vehicle where two others with him fired shots into a group of men in Dallas, fatally striking a man in the head. Police found that Joseph wasn’t the shooter, and the NFL didn’t suspend him. 

Joseph went on to play 16 games for Dallas in 2022, totaling 20 tackles with two passes defended and one forced fumble. But he started to bounce around from there.

L.A. police shoot knife-wielding man during response to assault call 

A man armed with a knife was shot by L.A. police officers responding to an assault with a deadly weapon call overnight, authorities said. 

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers with the Hollenbeck Division responded to an apartment complex in the 3000 block of Glenn Avenue in Boyle Heights at 1:45 a.m. Saturday after callers reported a male suspect was armed with a knife and had just assaulted someone in the complex. 

Arriving officers found the suspect in front of the residence, but he did not comply with officers’ commands to drop the weapon. He then advanced toward the officers and an officer-involved shooting occurred, LAPD confirmed.

Rip tides, high surf forecast for Los Angeles beaches this weekend

Dangerous rip currents and high surf are forecast for Los Angeles County beaches, including the Malibu Coast this weekend.

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous beach statement, warning of the potentially deadly beach conditions. The dangerous conditions are forecast to last from Saturday evening to Monday morning.

“There is an increased risk of ocean drowning,” the NWS forecast reads. “Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats nearshore.”

  • Rip Currents

Minor Beach erosion and coastal flooding is possible through the weekend. The flooding is most likely to occur during evening high tides from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Beachgoers are advised to stay out of the water and remain near lifeguard towers. Jetties and tidepools are also especially dangerous during the weekend forecast.

“Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions, stay off the rocks,” the NWS forecast reads.

Los Angeles releases searchable list of worst rental properties

If you live or want to live in Los Angeles, the city controller has released a new dashboard highlighting some of the city’s most notorious problem rental properties, a tool designed to help renters avoid future headaches.

“This project comes at a time when tenants are reporting harassment and illegal evictions violating the City’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance, Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance and Tenant Anti‑Harassment Ordinance, but very few of the complaints end up leading to strong enforcement or real accountability,” L.A. City Controller Kenneth Mejia said in a media release Thursday.

The new Top 100 Problem Rental Properties dashboard includes a searchable database of all residential addresses with reported housing violation cases within the city of Los Angeles, a ranked list of the 100 addresses with the most violations and an interactive map.

“There has never before been an uncomplicated way for anyone to look up years’ worth of violations by address,” Mejia said in the release.

Data for the dashboard was compiled from multiple sources, including the Los Angeles Housing Department, Los Angeles City Planning and the L.A. County Assessor’s Office, according to the controller’s office.

The release also identified the top three addresses with the highest number of reported housing violations:

1. 636 1/2 North Hill Place, Chinatown
192 housing violation cases

2. 11700 West Wilshire Boulevard, Sawtelle
166 housing violation cases

3. 6650 West Forest Lawn Drive, Hollywood Hills
113 housing violation cases

“Our new dashboard is an easy‑to‑understand public tool that we hope will help renters and organizers document patterns of harm, as well as put pressure on both landlords and the City to act,” Mejia said. “Everyone deserves safe, stable and dignified housing.”
