Two separate shootings occurred in Dallas on Sunday, leaving a total of two dead and two severely injured.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, a man was found dead in South Dallas on Sunday afternoon. The victim was not carrying an identification card, and the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office is working to identify him.
Police said they received a call to investigate the death of a man found in an encampment at around 3:00 p.m. in an area near Dawson Street and Maple Avenue near Malcolm X Boulevard. It is unclear why the man ended up in the encampment or if it is related to any other crimes that have taken place in the area.
The cause of death is still unknown, but according to police, he was shot in the head multiple times.
Detective Rawleigh Williams is asking anyone with information to contact him as soon as possible at 214-384-9824 or by email at [email protected].
Another Dallas shooting around 4 p.m. Sunday left one dead and two critically injured. The victims were in a vehicle on Jerome Street near Dolphin Road and Interstate 30 when a person in another car opened fire and then drove away.
Officers found Devante Ivory, 26, dead at the scene. Another man and a woman were taken to the hospital in critical condition. There is still no motive for the shooting, and no one has been arrested.
The Dallas Police Department has recently begun several initiatives to reduce crime and build trust between the police and the community. With measures such as increased patrols and new hires, the department hopes to improve safety in the city.
