Mass Dallas Shootings On Repeat
As one commenter noted, South Dallas has become South Chicago. and the police have no answers except to accept awards for statistics they don’t share with the public.
A Dallas mom, Lacravivonne Monique Washington, has been arrested after she reported her three year old son had been shot in a road rage shooting for outstanding warrants.
In addition to the current charges, Dallas Police have charged Washington with Child Endangerment and Tampering with Evidence. The investigation determined she concealed a handgun during the investigation and that the three year old had access to it.
Road Rage Shooting Scene
Monday morning, Washington arrived at Medical City Children’s Hospital Emergency Room with her three year old son who had been shot.
She reported the child had been shot during a road rage incident. The child died of his injuries at the hospital.
Detectives have pursued leads, but have found no evidence of a road rage incident.
There have been other road rage incidents leading to shootings.

Harris, 42, of Dallas, is affiliated with the 65 Groveside gang.
Royneco Tiun Harris Details
Harris had been wanted since October 2021.
Harris removed his GPS monitoring device during his trial and fled. His charges stem from the fatal shooting of a man and wounding of that man’s child.
Harris’ trial continued without him and he was found guilty and sentenced to ninety-nine (99) years in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice prison.
Local police are still on the hunt for Abel Elias Acosta – the Garland Christmas shooter who murdered three.
North Texas gas theft is on the rise per local law enforcement with the rising price of fuel outpacing salary increases.
North Texas Gas Theft Seen In Oak Cliff
Dallas police found hundreds of gallons in stolen gas during a raid on a property in Oak Cliff. In that case, the fuel was being pumped into a working gas pump on property.
In Texas, gas thieves are hitting both individuals and gas stations. In Houston, thieves stole over one thousand gallons over the course of four days.
Dallas police were recently honored for lowering violent crime numbers.
Tamara Wallace stole approximately $1.36M from local nonprofit Donate 2 Impact from 2015 to 2019 per public records and local news reports.
Wallace spent on everything from meals at Panera to fifth-row seats at Dallas Mavericks games. She also spent almost $10,000 of the nonprofit’s funds on SOTA weight-loss treatment in Frisco, another $6,000 at Le Beau Visage, a medical spa.
She spent another $6,500 at Louis Vuitton and a $10,000 purchase at high-end audio and visual retailer Starpower.
Tamara Wallace
Wallace’s methods for the embezzlement were similar to others where one person controls both payment methods and ledgers. Similar financial problems were found with Dallas Democrats, though no accusations have been made there of stolen funds, just slipshot accounting.
Dwaine Caraway released from federal prison and back on the Dallas streets per a recent Twitter post by Dallas Morning News oped columnist Robert Wilonsky.
Last time I saw Dwaine Caraway he was about to head off to federal prison in Big Spring in May 2019. Just ran into him at the 7-Eleven at Marsh and Walnut Hill.
While we were talking a guy (probably a Ticket listener) pulled up, rolled down his window and said, “Welcome back.” pic.twitter.com/BwJg2rj2Ny
Chief U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn cited “Caraway’s credibility while testifying” when she ordered his fifty-six month sentence only lowered by five months to a fifty-one month sentence.
Caraway had been serving time at Big Spring Federal Correction Institution. The federal lock up is about three hundred miles west of Dallas, near Midland, Texas.
Judge Lynn sentenced Caraway in 2019 after he pleaded guilty to taking $450,000 in bribes from promoters of a school bus stop-arm camera system in exchange for helping advocate for the system’s widespread adoption. The governmental entity Dallas County Schools was dissolved amid the scandal.
Caraway also solicited bribes from two other unrelated sources – first, Hamilton, and second, two undercover FBI agents posing as developers.
Caraway was never charged for those secondary bribary crimes, but he testified about them during Hamilton’s trial.
It is unclear what Caraway’s next move might be politically, if any. Former state representative Terri Hodge was found guilty of tax evasion after accepting bribes, but was still nominated to be the Electoral College representative for her Congressional District if Joe Biden had won Texas.
The Dallas Police Department has curious timing. A press release dropped Monday saying DPD Honored for Violent Crime Reduction just one day after a mass shooting involving ten victims and no suspect in downtown Dallas.
Garcia’s plans have been mostly kept under wraps from citizens and journalists. The award also comes after Dallas was hit by a data breach which affected nearly twenty thousand cases including assaults, rape, and other crimes against persons.
DPD Honored For Violent Crime Reduction – Numbers, Not Neighborhoods
Police Chief Eddie Garcia had a number of comments in the city press release.
Garcia said, “The Violent Crime Evidence-Based Reduction Plan is the result of work closely with criminologists, hearing from other departments within the City, and, most importantly, listening to our neighborhoods most impacted by violent crime. Our ultimate goal is the reduction of crime, with an increase in community trust. We will strive for both, as these concepts are not mutually exclusive. We will see further challenges in 2022 and our priority now is for our men and women to continue to partner with our community and strive to achieve an even safer Dallas.”
A South Dallas mass shooting resulted in ten victims early this morning at a party venue. Many more were injured trying to escape the violence that has police without answers.
At least four ambulances were seen taking injured victims to local hospitals including one fourteen year old victim.
Police reported an eighteen year old male was in critical condition. The conditions and injuries of the other victims were not announced.
South Dallas Mass Shooting Part Of Larger Issues
The mass shooting was one of several instances of gun violence around Dallas early Sunday. A 55-year-old man was fatally shot in Old East Dallas shortly before 4:00AM. It follows a student trainer being shot by a Kimball High School basketball player almost a week ago.
Police are short on clues and anyone with information about the incident should contact Dallas police Detective Alec Lopez at alec.lopez@dallascityhall.com or (214) 671-3658. Please refer to case No. 048526-2022.
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment. To make an anonymous tip, call (214) 373-8477.
There are concerns about Dallas Police Department’s ability to capture the shooter – as there are concerns in the Christmas Day Garland shooting. Other citizens are worried that if an arrest does happen, he or she will simply be let off the hook by a judge more interested in re-election than the rule of law.
Two officers with the City of Richardson Police sue Richardson Police and the City of Richardson over allegations that they have been illegally requiring them to follow a ticket quota system.
Officers Kayla Walker and David Conklin filed the lawsuit against the City of Richardson. Walker was seen last year speaking before Richardson City Council stating an illegal ticket quota system was occuring for years.
They lawsuits also allege senior officers retaliated against them after they made public statements to the Richardson City Council and media outlets in 2021. They also allege retaliation after they filed criminal reports with outside law enforcement authorities.
Richardson Police Sue Richardson Police – The Case
The lawsuit claims an outside legal investigation confirmed the city was acting inappropriately, but also stated that the policy was not illegal “because it was part of a broader policy that included components that were not unlawful.”
A Dallas District Court judge is being asked to “declare the ticket quota policy in violation Section 772.002 of the Texas Transportation Code that prohibits all formal or informal ticket quotas, order the Richardson Police Department to stop the illegal policy, and compensate the officers for the violations of their First Amendment right to free speech.”
An accused murder, Julio Guerrero, is back on the streets today after Dallas Judge Chika Anyiam lowered his bond from $2,000,000 to $500,000.
The bond amount meant a $50,000 fee could be paid for him to be released. His lawyer, Tom Cox, who owns a bail bond company made payment on the bail himself. Cox has also contributed $5000 to the reelection of Chika Anyiam causing one local court watcher to ask about ex parte conversations.
The move by Judge Chika Anyiam angered both the victim’s family and the Dallas Police Association. Anyiam is the Dallas Democrats nominee for Dallas Criminal Court 7 after their March primary.
Julio Guerrero History
Guerrero has a long history of violence and is considered a repeat offender.
Guerrero had been arrested in June 2021 for murdering Francisco Villanueva for “bumping” into him at a nightclub per Dallas Police.
Three days after the nightclub murder he shot a three year old in the head during a road rage incident.
