Kenneth Jerome Hamilton, a 57-year-old man, was fatally shot in his car on November 14, 2020, in Dallas, Texas. He was sitting in the driver's seat of his vehicle at the intersection of South Beckley Avenue and Clarendon Drive when he was shot around 9 p.m. Hamilton was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. The police have not made any arrests in connection with his death and are continuing their investigation.
They are seeking information from the public and have offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment.
The investigation into Hamilton's death is part of a larger series of shootings that occurred in Dallas around the same time. Jeremy Rashaud Harris, a 31-year-old man from Red Oak, Texas, was later arrested and charged with multiple murders, including that of Kenneth Jerome Hamilton. Harris was suspected of being involved in a string of random shootings that took place from Halloween to November 18, 2020. He was charged with four counts of murder and is currently in custody.
Harris's alleged killing spree began with the murder of 19-year-old Jaden Urrea on Halloween night and continued with the shooting of 36-year-old Adam Gautreau shortly before Hamilton's death. Harris was also charged with the murder of Blair Carter, whose body was found in his burning home in Collin County. The investigation involved multiple local, state, and federal agencies due to the cross-jurisdictional nature of the crimes.
In November 2023, Harris pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The families of the victims, including Kenneth Jerome Hamilton's, continue to grapple with the trauma and loss caused by Harris's actions.
