FARMERS BRANCH, Texas - Investigators are searching for the people who killed a Dallas man and allegedly abducted two teenagers.
Farmers Branch police now believe several people abducted 33-year-old Nilzuly Arnaud Petit and two juveniles as they were coming back from a party around 12:30 a.m. Saturday.
Police say they were in a black Toyota 4-Runner when they were abducted by two Hispanic men at an apartment on Fair Oaks Crossing in Dallas.
"They were switched into a light-colored four-door sedan. They were driving to Farmers Branch where the victim was shot and later died. The two juveniles were transported to Lewisville where they were let out of the vehicle," said Lt. Terry Eoff from Farmers Branch PD.
A passing motorist found the man’s body on Valley View Lane in Farmers Branch early Saturday morning.
The teens were later found unharmed, about 10 miles away, walking on the Interstate 35 service road in Lewisville around 3:40 a.m.
"They are cooperating with us. I’m not at liberty to tell you what they told us," said Lt. Eoff.
