1 dead, 2 hospitalized after car shot multiple times in Dallas; police investigating possible road rage incident

A late-night shooting near Fair Park left one man dead and two others injured after gunfire erupted into a vehicle carrying four people, according to Dallas police.

Officers responded around 11:07 p.m. Thursday to the 4500 block of South Fitzhugh Avenue, where they found three men who had been shot. Dallas Fire-Rescue transported two of the victims to a hospital, one in critical condition and another with non-life-threatening injuries, while a third man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said a fourth person inside the vehicle was not injured.

The preliminary investigation determined all four individuals were in the same car when it was struck multiple times by gunfire. 

The uninjured passenger told officers the shooting stemmed from a road rage incident, though detectives say the investigation remains ongoing.

Video from the scene showed a heavy police presence and numerous evidence markers surrounding the vehicle. A Dallas Police Department drone was also seen mapping the area overnight as investigators documented the scene.

Detectives are asking nearby businesses to review surveillance footage as they work to determine what led up to the shooting.

Police have not released the identities of those involved and said additional details will be provided as the investigation continues.
