DALLAS POLICE INVESTIGATE DOUBLE HOMICIDE AFTER SPRING AVENUE SHOOTING
DALLAS, TX — A double homicide investigation is underway following a deadly shooting incident that occurred late Tuesday night in East Dallas. The Dallas Police Department responded to multiple reports of gunfire on June 10th around 10 p.m. in the 4800 block of Spring Avenue, a typically quiet residential stretch now shaken by violence.
When officers arrived on scene, they discovered a grisly scene inside a home—two men had been shot and were unresponsive. Emergency responders from Dallas Fire-Rescue quickly confirmed that both men had succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene. The identities of the victims have not yet been released pending notification of next of kin.
As detectives secured the crime scene and began collecting evidence, a new development emerged that may prove critical to understanding what happened that night. Not long after the shooting, authorities received a separate call about a suspicious individual in the vicinity. Officers responded and found a barefoot man, bleeding from his feet, wandering near the crime scene.
Following the trail of blood back toward the home where the shooting occurred, investigators discovered what appeared to be a chaotic and violent scene inside the residence, including signs of shattered glass. Authorities believe the man’s injuries may have resulted from broken glass during the incident, possibly while fleeing or moving through the home during or after the shooting.
The man—whose name has not yet been released—was taken into custody without incident and transported for medical treatment. He is now being questioned by homicide detectives as a person of interest in the ongoing investigation. According to police, preliminary findings suggest that the man knew the victims, indicating this was not a random act of violence.
No official charges have been filed as of Thursday morning, and authorities are urging the public to be patient as investigators work to piece together the events leading up to the shooting. The motive remains unclear, and police are continuing to canvass the neighborhood for surveillance footage, witness statements, and any additional evidence that could help clarify the timeline of the crime.
The 4800 block of Spring Avenue has seen sporadic incidents of violence in recent years, but residents say a double homicide of this nature is deeply unsettling. “We heard the shots, but we didn’t imagine it would be something like this,” said one neighbor, who asked not to be identified. “It’s scary knowing this happened so close.”
The Dallas Police Department is asking anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers at (214) 373-TIPS (8477). A reward may be available for information that leads to an arrest and indictment.
As the investigation continues, loved ones of the victims are left with unanswered questions and a growing sense of grief. Community members are calling for peace and cooperation to help bring clarity—and justice—to those affected.
