Murder suspect who fired at Dallas officers has been indicted, records show

DPD said the 20-year-old murder suspect had a Glock switch when he shot one of their officers.

DALLAS — Editor's note: The video published above is a WFAA story about the shootout between DPD and Owens when it happened in November 2023.

A 20-year-old man who fired at Dallas officers who were serving a search warrant in November 2023 has been indicted, according to court records. 

Jordan Owens was indicted on Feb. 6 for capital murder by terror threat, court records said.

Dallas police officers and federal Marshals knocked and announced themselves while trying to get capital murder suspect, 20-year-old Jordan Owens, out of an apartment on Thursday, Nov. 16. Body camera footage shared by the Dallas Police Department days later showed the shootout that ensued between Owens and those officers.

Police said officers returned fire and moved downstairs from the apartment. 

Dallas Police Officer, Sr. Cpl. Edgar Morales was hit in the leg during the shootout.  

Police also said Owens started throwing things at officers from the apartment window. 

Officers returned fire again.

Garcia confirmed what WFAA reported last week that the suspect was armed with a Glock switch, which converts a gun into a machine gun. 

Police said a man and a woman were inside the apartment as Owens was firing. The woman called 911 during the shooting asking officers not to fire back because they were inside. Garcia said Owens fired more than 20 rounds at officers. Owens was shot and eventually taken into custody.
