Manhunt over in Northeast Dallas after stabbing suspect turns self into police, DPD says
A Dallas police officer fired gunshots at a stabbing suspect Friday morning. On Saturday, a manhunt to find him ended after the department said he turned himself in.
DPD said that officers responded to a call at the Sunchase Park Apartments on Park Lane east of Hemlock Avenue. The suspect, 37-year-old Isidoro Melo-Munoz, allegedly stabbed a woman at the scene.
At a news conference later Friday morning, DPD said Melo-Munoz and the victim were dating. When officers arrived, they found Melo-Munoz standing over the victim with a knife on a second-floor landing.
Officers told Melo-Munoz to drop the knife, but he did not, and an officer fired their weapon, DPD said. He then ran from the scene.
The stabbing victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition, police said. Officers were not injured.
"We have all of our patrol elements looking for him, all of our technology, every available resource right now," DPD public information officer Allison Hudson told CBS News Texas's Bo Evans.
Early Saturday morning, Dallas Police told CBS News Texas that Melo-Munoz turned himself in and was not injured.
He has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary of a habitation, possession of a controlled substance less than 1 gram, driving while license invalid and driving while intoxicated. There is also an immigration hold for Melo-Munoz.
