The Dallas Police Department continues to delve into the unsolved case of Rickey Forward, who was tragically cut down by gunfire outside an apartment complex over five years ago. On the night of July 26, 2020, in the 4400 block of South Lancaster Road, Forward, who was 28 at the time, met an untimely end that has left his family and community seeking answers and justice.
As time moves forward, the details surrounding the murder of Mr. Forward remain scarce, with the original suspect description providing little more than the image of a black male around 5’ 10” tall.

According to a statement by the Dallas Police Department, they urge anyone with knowledge about the case to step forward.
