16-year-old arrested for Kimball H.S. student's murder
Dallas police arrested a 16-year-old suspect for the murder of a Dallas ISD student over the weekend. Investigators said it happened outside a gas station late Friday night.
On Saturday, police arrested a 16-year-old and charged them with murder.
Dallas City Councilman Tennell Atkins represents District 8, where the shooting happened.
Atkins said he wants to create a safe zone for kids in that area.
"Because football is going up, it's kind of getting out of hand right now. And when you lose a life there, you want to blame everyone, but let this be a lesson about how can we solve the problem going forward," Atkins said.
At this point, FOX 4 does not know if Washington went to the football game on Friday night or if he knew the group of people following him.
Police did not identify the 16-year-old due to their age.
According to a community post on social media, there will be a balloon release for Washington at Kimball High School on Monday night.
