Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed during a Wednesday news conference that Marshawn Kneeland’s girlfriend, Catalina Mancera, is pregnant.

Kneeland died last week from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at 24 years old, days after the defensive end scored his first NFL touchdown on special teams on Nov. 3.

Schottenheimer said the organization has established a Marshawn Kneeland memorial fund to financially support Catalina and the baby.

Kneeland began dating Mancera during his sophomore year at Western Michigan University. After the death of Kneeland’s mother, she bought him a stuffed bear that included a voice message from his mother from the previous Christmas.
