The shooting incident occurred in District 3, which is overseen by Dallas City Council Member Casey Thomas II.
Thomas has been the subject of The Dallas Express‘ Crime Boss Series, and his district suffered from the first shooting death of 2023. Additionally, a woman was recently shot in a drive-by in Thomas’ district, as reported by The Dallas Express.
The Dallas Express reached out to Councilman Thomas and Texas Gun Sense for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.
