Dallas police announced a significant arrest
in the Halloween night shootings in Deep Ellum.
Good evening. I'm Steve Eager.
Hello, everybody. I'm Heather Hayes.
Four people died that night, three on one street.
Dallas police say an 18-year-old gunman has been arrested
for violence on the crowded street that night.
Fox 4's Sean Rabb, live at Dallas police headquarters with more.
Sean.
Yeah, and the three people who died on Crowder Street,
Dallas Police say one of those was involved in some sort of disturbance
with some other folk that involved talking to some young ladies
who were down there in Deep Ellum.
But the two young ladies who lost their lives that night,
they weren't involved in anything, tragically,
you know what, just in the wrong place.
Let me show you, though, who the investigation took Dallas Police to.
He is 18, and his name is Justin Murdoch.
He's now charged with three counts
of capital murder of multiple persons.
For his part, in the explosion of gunfire in the 200 block of Crowd St,
Halloween night in Deep Ellum.
One of the three shooting scenes that night was on Crowd St.
Anthony Martin, Unique Benjamin,
and Kenesha Scott were shot and killed.
Those two young ladies, 25 and 21 years old,
not involved in any conflict.
Sadly, in the wrong place.
Police Chief Daniel Como was asked
if Murdoch might face federal charges.
What we're going to do as a police department,
wherever we get the biggest bang for the buck,
if that's through the state, through
the county, we're going to do that.
If it's through federal prosecution, we're going to do that.
Everything's on the table.
If you commit crimes like this, you should pay for those crimes.
Now, the homicide unit has been on the street around the clock nonstop
and using all technology from facial recognition
to flock cameras to try and identify other shooters that night.
And they're still searching for the three persons of interest shown
this week on track down in the murder of Isaiah Bowling.
That happened on Elm Street.
The second on Elm Street, we are still, after track down,
we received several leads regarding that investigation,
and we are going through those leads right now.
We're still trying to contact businesses regarding video
that may be out there.
Again, based on some of the video that we've seen,
there's a lot of witnesses out there.
And.
There's a lot of other shooters out there as well, and police know
this from the different caliber shell casings that have been recovered.
Thank you very much.
Dallas police said they continue to work.
And listen, we used cameras from the various businesses in Deep Ellum.
We used cell phone video from witnesses.
We took pictures from folks' cell phones,
and we used all of that to try and identify folks.
And we used flock cameras when people identified specific types
of cars that shooters or folks with guns
sped out of Deep Ellum with all
of that at the disposal of police trying to...
Get all of the people involved in what happened in Deep Ellum.
They're very happy about this arrest that was made,
but they still want to find the
people who took the life of Isaiah Bowling
and any other shooters that might have been
out there Halloween night.
All right, Sean Rabb, I know they'll keep working on it.
Thank you.
