The shooting incident took place in Dallas City Council Member Adam Bazaldua‘s District 7. Bazaldua was runner-up for May’s Crime Boss for his year-over-year Crime Score increase in April.
Bazaldua saw a 10.2% Crime Score bump based on the downloadable crime data set made available by the City.
Dallas police officers continue to fight crime amidst a shortfall of officers. The department is presently some 400-500 officers short of what is needed, according to Mike Mata, president of the Dallas Police Association.
In the nearby City of Fort Worth, private security supplements its police force and patrols its downtown area.
The City of Dallas has been unable to provide reliable crime statistics, allegedly due to a ransomware attack, which is still causing a “service outage.”
However, available data from the Dallas crime analytics overview dashboard shows that 3,078 reports of aggravated assault were documented year-to-date through the end of April.
