Man killed in Uptown Dallas shooting identified, suspect on the run

A man was killed in a shooting Wednesday in Uptown Dallas.

Police responded to a shooting around 5 p.m. off McKinney Avenue and Pearl Street near a strip center with a Wells Fargo bank, restaurants and other businesses.

Dallas police say they found a man who had been shot on the sidewalk just outside the bank. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.

On Thursday morning, the man was identified as 46-year-old Roderick Butler.

Police say Butler was shot by an unknown suspect who ran from the location toward Maple Avenue. 

No arrests have been announced.

Witnesses say they heard multiple gunshots. People were then running into nearby restaurants. 

The crime scene tape was taken down within the hour. 

A shell casing could be seen between some cars in the parking lot along with blood nearby on the sidewalk.

Investigators were centered around an area located near the Wells Fargo ATM and a jewelry store, but we still do not know a motive in the case or anything at all about what led up to the shooting.

Police have not released any suspect description.
