This story has been updated throughout with information from police.
Seven people were killed and multiple people were treated at area hospitals this weekend after a number of shootings broke out throughout Dallas.
One of those shot included a well-known rapper, coming just days after a different rapper was shot and killed on a Dallas highway in the middle of the day.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson wrote in an email Sunday that Dallas' numbers are "headed in the wrong direction," for both COVID-19 infections and crime numbers.
"The recent increases in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are deeply concerning. Dallas is on pace to hit new peaks in the coming weeks," Johnson wrote. He urged citizens to wear masks, get flu shots and to practice social distancing.
Speaking about crime, he wrote that as of Thursday, Dallas surpassed its 2019 number for homicides with nearly seven weeks left in the year.
"Dallas cannot reduce violent crime by shrugging off the numbers or pointing toward increases in other cities," Johnson wrote.
He again shared a survey link for Dallasites to share their thoughts on what they want in a new police chief.
Below is a timeline of some of the shootings that took place across the city.
Saturday
Rapper Boosie treated at Dallas hospital for gunshot wound, police sources say
Multiple police sources confirm Louisiana rapper Boosie has been treated at a Dallas hospital for a gunshot wound.
Police sources said he was shot in the leg and his condition beyond that is unknown as of Saturday afternoon.
Sources said the shooting at Big T Plaza in Dallas was the same shooting that involved Boosie. They also said the rapper, whose real name is Torrence Hatch Jr., is not providing many details to police at this time.
According to Dallas police, officers were dispatched to the shopping center after 911 callers stated that someone had been shot, but left the location in a private vehicle.
However, authorities said when they arrived at the alleged shooting scene, they were unable to locate a victim or suspect.
Boosie was at a vigil Friday night in Dallas, that honored another rapper who was shot and killed earlier this week.
