A 19-year-old man is dead and two others are in custody after a shooting Friday afternoon in Dallas, according to police.
Officers were called to the 7400 block of South Westmoreland Road around 3:45 p.m. Saturday where they found Donavon Jones, 19, and Jacory Simpson, 23, shot in a parking lot, according to police. Both were taken to the hospital in critical condition where Jones died.
Police said Taquan Cook, 20, was arguing with Simpson outside the business when he shot and wounded Simpson. Simpson then encountered Jones in the same parking lot and shot him. Jones died Saturday in the hospital.
Simpson is still in the hospital and an arrest warrant has been issued for murder and unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to police. Cook is charged with assault causing serious bodily injury and was taken to the Dallas County Jail.
Another shooting on Saturday around 9 p.m. at the same location sent four people attending a vigil to the hospital, according to police. A passenger in a car driving by the vigil fired a gun out of a car, and attendees returned fire.
Police have not announced any arrests in the Saturday shooting.
