On Friday evening at about 6:30 p.m., officers responded to a shooting call in the 800 block of N. Lancaster Avenue in Southwest Dallas, where they located an unresponsive male victim suffering from gunshot wounds. Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to render assistance, but the victim died at the scene.

No homicides have been reported so far for Sunday, but a 2 a.m. disturbance call on Monday outside the Hyde & Seek nightclub in Downtown Dallas led to an officer-involved shooting. Officers confronted and fired at an armed suspect in the 2000 block of Commerce Street, where multiple people had reportedly been shot during an altercation. The suspect and one of the shooting victims died at the scene, and an unknown number of other shooting victims were transported to the hospital in stable condition.
More than 90 officers responded to the scene, and many remained on-site for several hours as the investigation continued. Commerce Street was shut down until about 9:15 a.m. The Municipal Court Building, located adjacent to the scene of the shooting, will be closed all day on Monday, opening at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, NBC 5 DFW reported.
No officers were injured in the incident, and DPD has stated that it will provide updates as the investigation continues. The case is documented under # 168860-2025, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact DPD.
These three incidents bring the total number of homicides in Dallas to ten for the month of November.
