The photographer who initially accused Rashee Rice of assault now no longer wants to press charges against the Kansas City Chiefs star, according to the Dallas Police Department … but an investigation remains ongoing.
The photog first alleged that Rice clocked him during an altercation outside of Lit Kitchen in Dallas on May 6 … but the DPD said in a statement he recently signed an affidavit of non-prosecution.
It doesn’t necessarily mean Rice is now in the clear — the DPD said a probe into the allegations is still moving forward — although a case against the NFLer now no doubt got substantially more difficult to prove.

It’s obviously good news for Rice … although the 2023 second-round pick is still facing criminal charges stemming from his role in the wild car crash on a Dallas expressway back in March.
Despite it all, Rice — who’s been catching passes from Patrick Mahomes and working out with other KC wideouts this offseason — is still participating in the Chiefs’ organized team activities this month.
