Dallas police confirmed to CBS News Texas that a homicide investigation was underway Friday, June 26, at an apartment complex in the 3300 block of Linfield Road. By Friday night, detectives were still working the scene and officials had released only limited information.
Police response and reporting
According to CBS News Texas, officers were called to the apartment complex Friday, after which Dallas police detectives opened a homicide probe. The station reported that authorities had not yet shared details about any victims, possible suspects, or a case number.
Where it happened
The 3300 block of Linfield Road lies in South Dallas’s 75216 ZIP code, a stretch made up of low-rise apartment buildings and single-family homes, according to Redfin. Online records list Linfield Road addresses in the South Oak Cliff and South Dallas area, putting the scene in a primarily residential section of the city.
How to help investigators
Information on the Dallas Police Department’s contact page directs anyone with tips about the case to call the Homicide Unit at (214) 671-3661 or Crime Stoppers at 214-373-TIPS. Detectives are asking nearby residents who may have video footage or other evidence to come forward to help with the ongoing investigation.
Local context
The investigation comes during a period of shifting crime numbers in Dallas. A February editorial in The Dallas Morning News noted that the city reported drops in violent crime and fewer homicides in 2025. Even with those declines, officials and residents say each killing weighs heavily on the community as detectives work their cases.
