DALLAS — Dallas police confirmed on Tuesday that a suspect was arrested in a deadly shooting Monday in southeast Dallas.
According to police, four people were shot at the intersection of Elsie Faye Heggins and Lyons. One of those victims has died.
On Tuesday, police said that the suspect, identified as 27-year-old Jeremiah Moore, was found and arrested in Donley County in the Texas Panhandle, southeast of Amarillo. He faces one murder count and three counts of aggravated assault, police said.
Police identified the victim who died as 19-year-old Savannah Rodriguez.
There was also a second shooting that police believe may have been related at a car wash nearby. Police sources said at least one person was injured.
Martin Rodriguez, the teen's great uncle, told WFAA his sister Minerva Arredondo, who is in her 60s, was in the apartment when a suspect knocked on the door and shot Savannah Rodriguez when she answered the door.
Martin Rodriguez also said his father, his nephew, a young child under the age of 10 and Savannah Rodriguez's boyfriend, Christopher Morales, were in the apartment as well.
Rodriguez said the suspect also shot his sister and Morales before fleeing the scene. Rodriguez said he believes the suspect is the one who reportedly shot another person at the car wash.
Rodriguez's sister and Morales were taken to the hospital, he told WFAA. Their condition is unknown at this time. It's also unknown how the person shot at the car wash is doing.
But family told WFAA that Morales was conscious and talking to them and Arredondo is doing "okay."
Police are working to understand a motive and if the scenes are connected. Eyewitnesses told police they saw the suspect leaving the apartments with two guns in his hand.
This news comes after a toddler was killed in a drive-by shooting in the same area Sunday night. Police said the shooting happened in the 4700 block of Hay Street, just north of Fair Park off Haskell Avenue. When police arrived, they learned the woman and a toddler were shot during a drive-by.
Both victims were taken to a hospital, where the toddler died. Police are still looking for any suspects tied to that case.
WFAA will update as more information becomes available.
