A quiet stretch of far northeast Dallas turned into a crime scene earlier today after a man was found shot along the 10500 block of Walnut Street and later died at a hospital, according to police.
Officers were called to the 10500 block of Walnut Street at 7:21 a.m., where they found the victim suffering from a gunshot wound, The Dallas Morning News reported. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. As of Tuesday morning, Dallas police had not released any suspect information or additional details about what led up to the shooting.
Police investigation underway
According to the Dallas Police Department, homicide detectives are investigating the killing and are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 214-373-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online. Investigators have not yet released a suspect description or a possible motive.
Recent shootings around the city
The Walnut Street killing comes amid a run of shootings across Dallas this month, including a pair of overnight attacks in Deep Ellum that left a security officer dead and five others wounded, as reported by CBS News Texas. Hoodline has also reported several nearby incidents in recent weeks, including a May 2 shooting at a far-north Dallas strip center that briefly put investigators on the scene.
Detectives are urging anyone who was in the area early Tuesday or who may have relevant dash-camera or surveillance footage to come forward. This story will be updated as officials release more information.
