“The victim was minding his own business,” Jackson said. “These gunslingers are killing people for no reason. Another gunslinger has been taken off the streets.”

The incident remains under investigation by the DCSO.

This is the 15th murder in Dallas County for 2021, including 13 in Selma. The other murder took place in Valley Grande.
