It took 9 months, but video showing the altercation at a Las Vegas nightclub involving Alvin Kamara on the eve of the Pro Bowl has been leaked.
The video was posted by TMZ Sports in the early hours Saturday morning, and identifies Alvin Kamara as a man in a white shirt who appears to be throwing punches at another man, Darnell Greene before being pulled forward. The footage quality is low, and Kamara would have been difficult to identify without assistance.
The group does appear to continue to attack Greene while he lay on the ground, though Kamara can not be seen clearly as the events unfold.
The footage also does not show what led to the altercation, which could be a point of contention when the case is ultimately heard in court. Kamara was arrested following the Pro Bowl and admitted to police he had punched the man in the altercation, which began outside the elevator at Drai's Nightclub in Las Vegas.
The Saints running back and his co-defendants face a felony charge in Las Vegas, and Kamara is named in a $10 million civil suit recently filed in Orleans Parish.
The case has been continued multiple times already, with the next court date scheduled for later this month.

Kamara has declined to address the incident and ongoing court proceedings throughout the season and has been active in all but one game, which he missed due to a rib injury.
Regardless of the outcome of the court case, Kamara would be likely to face discipline from the league in some form. In similar cases the league has levied suspensions in excess of six games, though the NFL would typically wait for all court proceedings to play out before assessing its own penalties relative to the personal conduct policy. The league has deviated from that protocol, though, in high-profile cases that included leaked footage or other information.
Kamara is expected to be on the field with his team Sunday when the Saints host the Baltimore Ravens at the Caesars Superdome.
