Dallas shooting: 1 killed in shooting near Victory Plaza; girl, 15, charged with capital murder
DALLAS - A man was shot and killed near Victory Plaza in Downtown Dallas early Sunday morning.
Dallas police said officers responded to the shooting call shortly after 5 a.m. at the intersection of North Houston Street and Nowitzki Way.
They found 18-year-old Jake Reynosa shot in the street. He later died at the hospital from his injuries.
Investigators believe Reynosa was approached by multiple suspects before being shot.
A woman who lives in the area told FOX 4 she heard the gunshots and then saw several people running from the scene.
"I woke up and I just heard something. I wasn't sure if it was a gunshot or anything. I thought it was a hit-and-run. But I looked out the window and I saw a gentleman laying on the ground and I saw three people that were running. They looked at him and then they took off running," said Marianna Malik, a witness.
Police found the suspects a short distance away and tried to pull over their vehicle, but they all ran.
One suspect, a 15-year-old girl, was taken into custody. She has been charged with capital murder.
Her name will not be released due to her age.
Police still need help figuring out what led up to the shooting and how many people were involved.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Dallas Police Department.
