The Dallas Police Department is actively seeking new leads in the unsolved homicide of 25-year-old Orlando Garcia-Clemente, a case that has remained cold since 2003. According to the Dallas Police Department, Garcia-Clemente was discovered deceased in a wooded vacant lot on the 5200 block of W. Ledbetter Drive on April 28, 2003.
With little information publicly available regarding the circumstances surrounding Garcia-Clemente's death, Dallas police are reaching out to the community in the hopes of finally being able to provide closure to his family. In light of this renewed call for information, anyone who might know something is encouraged to come forward. Sergeant Otha Hampton is the point of contact for those looking to share potentially crucial details that could help crack this long-standing case. Potential informants can reach Sergeant Hampton at 214-671-3654 or by email at [email protected], referring to case number 306371-M.
The Dallas Police Department did not disclose if recent tips led to the re-invigoration of the Garcia-Clemente case. Nonetheless, the re-publicizing of such cases is a part of the broader "Cold Case Tuesday" initiative aimed at resolving unsolved crimes through community involvement and enhanced detective work.
