Three suspects are no longer on the run following a robbery that turned into murder outside of the Dallas Costco Business Center located at 8200 block of Park Lane on Tuesday night.   

According to the Dallas Police Department, three men and one woman allegedly approached a man loading goods into his car in the parking lot of the business when the four attempted to rob him.

The alleged robbery resulted in the man being shot and ultimately killed. He has since been identified as 60-year-old Ali Elbanna, a resident of Arlington.  

It is still unclear if the suspects had initially intended to rob the wholesale business before deciding to rob Elbanna. Following the shooting, the three men escaped, but police captured the female suspect. She is currently in the custody of Dallas Police, per NBC DFW.   

Early on Wednesday afternoon, police captured the three male suspects, taking them into custody. Dallas Police have not released the identities of any of the suspects.   

After a record month of low crime rates in October, the Dallas Police Department hopes to continue cracking down on shootings, aggravated assaults, and more as the year comes to a close. It appears the DPD’s new crime plan and outreach program is part of their success according to experts who spoke with WFAA.
