Simmion Diya Dillard, a 41-year-old African American male, was tragically shot and killed on September 3, 2021, in Dallas, Texas. The incident occurred around 7 p.m. in the 1900 block of Singleton Boulevard in West Dallas. According to reports, Dillard had an altercation with an unknown individual shortly before the shooting. Approximately 15 minutes later, a vehicle described as an older model Cutlass, possibly primer gray or light blue, arrived at the scene.
Witnesses observed Dillard walking towards the parking lot where the vehicle had stopped. Moments later, shots were heard, and Dillard was fatally wounded.
Dallas Homicide Detective Chris Anderson has been leading the investigation into Dillard's murder. Despite having video footage and multiple witnesses, the detective has faced challenges in identifying the suspect. The video shows an individual exiting the Cutlass and walking along a fence line before the shots were fired. This person of interest quickly returned to the vehicle and fled the scene. Detective Anderson has been appealing to the public for any information that could help identify the driver of the Cutlass, as several witnesses have been reluctant to come forward.
The investigation into Simmion Diya Dillard's murder remains ongoing. Detective Anderson has expressed frustration with the lack of cooperation from witnesses, despite the presence of many people at the scene. He continues to urge anyone with information to contact him, hoping that someone will eventually provide the crucial details needed to solve the case and bring justice to Dillard's family.
