One man is in custody and another is wanted in connection with a March 18 home invasion robbery last month in Garland that ended with two suspects fatally shot, police said.

The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. when four men forced their way into an apartment unit at the Woodlands at the Preserve complex on the 4300 block of North Garland Avenue, per NBC DFW. The intruders shot at the resident of the apartment.

The resident, however, reportedly returned fire, killing two of the intruders. Terrail Moore, 27, of Dallas, and Darrian Lowery, 28, of Mesquite, died in the exchange. The two other suspects fled the scene before the police arrived, per The Dallas Morning News.

On March 29, detectives arrested 26-year-old Desmond Whitaker of Dallas, the third suspect involved in the home invasion. Whitaker was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and capital murder. He is being held in the Dallas County jail on a $1 million bond, per NBC DFW.

The fourth suspect, 22-year-old Williams Wilson of Dallas, is still at large, and the police are asking for the public’s assistance in finding him.

Though Wilson and Whitaker are not thought to have killed anyone during the home invasion, they can be charged with capital murder for allegedly committing a felony resulting in Moore and Lowery’s deaths.

Police are urging anyone with information on the crime to contact Garland Police at 972-485-4840. Should they prefer, people can also submit anonymous tips to Garland Crime Stoppers at 972-272-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.garlandcrimestoppers.org.

The police have announced a reward of up to $5,000 for any information that leads to the arrest of Wilson, per CBS News.

Shootings have continued to be an issue in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex following a jump in the number of violent crimes from 2021 to 2022. As of Friday, there were 64 gun-related murders in DFW this year, an increase of 23.08%, according to the Dallas Police crime analytics dashboard.
