DALLAS — A 21-year-old man has been arrested in the fatal shooting of another man at a Dallas convenience store over the weekend, police said Monday.
Davonta Mathis faces a capital murder charge in the shooting death of 32-year-old Gopi Krishna Dasari, according to a Dallas Police Department news release.
According to police, around 12:35 a.m. Saturday, officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 8600 block of Lake June Road in the Pleasant Grove area.
Police said the suspect entered the business, approached the counter and shot the victim, Dasari.
According to police, Dallas Fire-Rescue also responded to the scene and took Dasari to a local hospital, where he later died.
Mathis was arrested in the case and charged with robbery. Dasari died after 18 hours on the ICU, so police obtained a capital murder warrant for Mathis and dropped the robbery charge, police said.
A GoFundMe is up to support Gopi Krishna Dasari's family in the wake of his passing. According to the web page, Dasari leaves behind a wife and one and a half year-old child.
Mathis was booked into the Dallas County Jail and his total bond amount was set at $7.5 million.
More information about the shooting was not released.
