An unknown suspect shot and killed 19-year-old Lacorian Darfour on Friday in Dallas, marking the sixth death tied to five homicide investigations involving incidents during the first 10 days of July.<\/p>\n
Police identified the victim as Lacorian Darfour, 19. An unknown suspect shot Darfour at approximately 11:10 a.m. in the 9500 block of Bruton Road, according<\/a> to the Dallas Police Department. Dallas Fire-Rescue transported him to a hospital, where he died.<\/p>\n The six-death count reflects five incidents that occurred between July 2 and July 10 and that DPD publicly classified as homicide investigations. It should not be read as a final official citywide homicide total for July.<\/p>\n Police also announced a separate homicide investigation this month tied to a June 27 incident.<\/p>\n Two juveniles charged in double homicide<\/p>\n The deadliest case announced so far involved two victims found shot on July 8 in the 3400 block of Michigan Avenue. Both died at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n Officers later located a 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy. Police charged both juveniles with capital murder and transferred them to the Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center.<\/p>\n Authorities had not publicly identified the victims in the initial release. The charges are allegations and do not establish guilt.<\/p>\n Assault charge upgraded after victim dies<\/p>\n A separate case began as an aggravated assault investigation after a physical altercation outside in the 4200 block of Harry Hines Boulevard<\/a> on July 5.<\/p>\n Police said Dillion Hill, 34, punched John Zuniga, 50, causing Zuniga to fall and strike his head.<\/p>\n Officers arrested Hill at the scene on an aggravated assault charge. Zuniga died at the hospital on July 9, and police upgraded Hill\u2019s charge to murder.<\/p>\n Hill faces a murder charge, but the law presumes him innocent unless a court finds him guilty.<\/p>\n Suspects sought in two shootings<\/p>\n No arrest had been announced in the July 10 Bruton Road killing. Police asked anyone with information to contact Det. T. Johnston at 214-671-3523 or timothy.johnston@dallaspolice.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n Police also continue to investigate the July 7 shooting death of an unidentified man in the 3400 block of Sam Houston Road.<\/p>\n An unknown suspect shot the man at approximately 10:46 p.m., and Dallas Fire-Rescue transported him to a hospital, where he died. No arrest had been made.<\/p>\n Anyone with information about the Sam Houston Road case can contact Det. D. Mendoza at 214-671-4191 or daisy.mendoza@dallaspolice.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n Grand jury to review La France Street case<\/p>\n DPD first reported<\/a> a July homicide on July 2, when a known suspect shot Charles Baldwin, 56, in the 3500 block of La France Street.<\/p>\n Police said a known suspect shot Baldwin. Dallas Fire-Rescue transported him to a hospital, where he died.<\/p>\n DPD said the case would be referred to a grand jury. Police did not announce an arrest or identify the suspected shooter in the release.<\/p>\n Separate June incident announced as homicide<\/p>\n DPD also announced a homicide investigation on July 7 stemming from an incident that occurred June 27 in the 9300 block of Pinyon Tree Road.<\/p>\n Police said Jeremy Walker, 35, fell from a moving vehicle, suffered critical injuries, and died a few days later.<\/p>\n Investigators have not publicly explained the circumstances surrounding the fall, and the initial release did not specify Walker\u2019s date of death or announce any charges.<\/p>\n Anyone with information about Walker\u2019s death can contact Det. J. Morgan at 214-425-9905 or jake.morgan@dallaspolice.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n The July cases follow another cluster of homicide investigations announced during the first week of June. The Dallas Express reported on June 8 that Dallas police had made arrests in three of four homicide cases announced during that week.<\/p>\n
