A suspect has been arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of a 23-year-old man, Dallas police say.
Friday, 29-year-old Jonathan Page was arrested by the U.S. Marshal North Texas Fugitive Taskforce for the murder of Xavier Dwayne Brooks.
Police say around 9:13 p.m. Wednesday, Brooks was standing with a group of people in a parking lot at 3033 S. Westmoreland Road when Page fired two rounds from a shotgun, striking Brooks. Then, Page fled the scene.
Police say Brooks ran from the location to the Westwood Apartments, where he collapsed. When emergency crews arrived, Brooks was transported to a local hospital and was later pronounced dead.
After Page’s arrest on Friday, he refused to give a voluntary statement to homicide detectives and was transported to the Dallas County jail for murder and possession of a controlled substance.
