Man Killed During Dallas Police Confrontation
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - A male suspect is dead after police shot him while checking a drug complaint at a southwest Dallas apartment complex. The incident happened at about 4:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon at the Mountain Valley Apartments, located in the 5900 block of Keeneland Parkway.
Sr. Cpl. Melinda Gutierrez with the Dallas Police Department said that two undercover officers went to the complex to buy drugs from two suspects. After the transaction, the suspects then tried to rob the officers. While the undercover officers were held at gunpoint, another backup officer arrived to offer assistance.
A chase ensued. Shots were fired and one of the suspects was killed. That suspect was later identified as 31-year-old Andrais Darnell Smith. Another two suspects -- one man and one woman -- were also taken into custody.
