DALLAS — Multiple investigations are underway after Dallas police responded to two separate shootings and a stabbing overnight, officials said. 

The first shooting occurred around 12:10 a.m. Saturday at the 100 block of W. Elmore Avenue. Officers said when they arrived at the scene they found a 26-year-old Fredy Bonilla lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the groin area. 

Police said Bonilla was transported to a nearby hospital where he died from his injuries. 

Homicide detectives said they detained and transported several people for questioning. 

Detectives said through the course of the investigation, it was determined that 29-year-old Angel Aristeo Badillo was the suspect and responsible for the shooting death of Bonilla. 

Badillo was then transported to the Dallas County jail and faces a murder charge, officials said. A Dallas County judge will set his bond.

Shortly after the first shooting, police said a different person was stabbed around 12:30 a.m. at the intersection of Al Lipscomb Way and Jeffries Street.

According to authorities, a 58-year-old man said he was washing cars and pumping gas for random vehicles at a nearby gas station when a person began arguing with him over "territory for servicing cars."

The man said he and the other person began to fight and that's when the suspect took out a knife, stabbed him in the chest, and then left the scene. 

The 58-year-old man was treated by medics for a large laceration to his chest, police said. The suspect remains at large.
