Dallas police are turning to the public for assistance in tracking down a suspect wanted in connection with a shooting that left a man wounded in the Pleasant Grove neighborhood earlier this month.
The incident took place on June 5 near the intersection of Oslo Lane and Kissell Avenue in southern Dallas. Investigators say a confrontation between the victim and an unidentified man escalated quickly and turned violent.
According to authorities the suspect was seated inside a pickup truck when the victim approached the vehicle during what appeared to be an ongoing argument. The situation escalated when the victim attempted to pull open the driver’s side door of the truck.
Surveillance footage obtained and released by the Dallas Police Department captures the critical moment when the suspect discharged a firearm before speeding away from the scene. The video has become a key piece of evidence as detectives work to identify and locate the shooter.
Dallas Fire-Rescue units responded to the scene and transported the injured man to a nearby hospital for treatment. Police confirmed the victim is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries.
No arrests have been made and the suspect remains unidentified at this time. Investigators have not released a detailed physical description of the individual but are hoping members of the community who may recognize the vehicle or the person in the surveillance footage will come forward.
