Party bus owner accused of fatally shooting man outside Dallas bar on Memorial Day
A party bus owner who was escorted out of an Uptown bar is accused of shooting to death a man outside of the bar, Dallas police said Monday.
After the shooting, Franklin Moore left the scene, but he later surrendered to Euless police.
Moore was in the Dallas County Jail on Monday and his bond had not been set.
Moore, 24, faces a charge of murder in the shooting, police said.
Dallas police responded to the shooting call at about 1:20 a.m. Monday near the One Sette in the 2600 block of McKinney Ave. in Dallas.
Officers found a man later identified as Tommie Richard Rodgers, 32, suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest in the 2500 block of Boll Street, just across the street from the bar.
Rodgers was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Dallas detectives learned that Moore had been involved in a disturbance in the bar with several patrons and escorted out.
Moore then grabbed a handgun out of a party bus that he owns, Dallas police said.
Moore re-entered the club and again was escorted out.
Once outside, Moore and Rodgers got into a confrontation that ended when Rodgers was shot multiple times.
