The Dallas Police Department has taken a significant step forward in a recent homicide investigation by arresting a 15-year-old male juvenile on charges of murder. The suspect was taken into custody and transferred to the Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center, with his identity withheld due to his age. This arrest follows a public appeal by the Dallas Police to help identify the suspect caught on video. The footage was pivotal in advancing the case.
Tracing back to the early hours of April 30, Dallas Police were called to the 3200 block of S. Lancaster Road around 7:40 a.m., where they found a woman unresponsive. Declared deceased by Dallas Fire-Rescue upon their arrival, the investigation surrounding the woman's death has been ongoing under case number 060582-2025. The victim was later identified as a 60-year-old Marie Brooks, whose family has been recently located, as conveyed by the Dallas Police Department.
Authorities initially asked for the public's assistance in tracking down the perpetrator, with Detective Johnson leading the charge. Anyone with information related to the case has been encouraged to contact Johnson directly. The police's inclusive approach to soliciting tips from citizens reflects a broader strategy to hinge law enforcement on community cooperation.
Individuals with further information are still urged to contact Detective Johnson by phone at 214-671-3616 or via email at [email protected].
