19-year-old suspect wanted for February shooting, killing of woman in Dallas, police say
The Dallas Police Department is asking for the public's help in locating a 19-year-old suspect wanted in connection with a February shooting that left a 24-year-old woman dead.
DPD said Jordan Hooker is the third suspect wanted for murder in the shooting and killing of Kayli Lopez. He's described as a Black man standing at about 5'7" and weighing 160 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.
In May, police announced they had made two arrests in the case, 22-year-old Jaylon Hooker and 21-year-old Mycana Price.
How the shooting unfolded
DPD said on Feb. 10, officers were called to the shooting in the 2200 block of S. Zang Boulevard. When they arrived, officers found two victims, Lopez and a 21-year-old man. Officers said Lopez was unresponsive when Dallas Fire-Rescue transported both victims to the hospital.
Lopez was later pronounced dead, while the second victim survived.
A witness told police she was driving northbound on S. Zang Blvd. when she heard gunshots. As she looked to her left, she saw the victim's Cadillac Escalade and a silver car behind it. According to the report, the witness saw the front passenger of the silver car shooting into the rear of the Escalade. The suspect continued shooting as they exited the vehicle, the report states. The witness also said she saw the driver shooting from inside the vehicle.
On Feb. 13, investigators received surveillance footage from a third-party company that surveys the Wynnewood Village shopping mall. Through a review of the recovered surveillance footage, investigators identified the suspect vehicle and possible suspects.
The suspect vehicle was identified as registered to Price. They later found that Price and Jaylon Hooker were in a relationship. Through the investigation, detectives also identified phone numbers associated with Price and Jaylon Hooker. Call records place both of their phones in the 2200 block of S. Zang Boulevard at the time of the shooting.
In a news release on Wednesday, police said anyone with information leading to the arrest of Jordan Hooker should call Crime Stoppers at 214-373-8477. Crime Stoppers will pay for information that leads to his arrest and indictment in the case.
