On March 13, 2020, at approximately 12:15 a.m., Tony Duncan, a 47-year-old male, was fatally shot while walking home near the intersection of Fitzhugh Avenue and Live Oak Street in Dallas, Texas. He suffered a single gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. Notably, his personal belongings, including his cell phone and wallet, were found intact, indicating that robbery was not a motive.
This tragic incident was part of a series of shootings in Dallas during that period. Just an hour earlier, at around 11:15 p.m. on March 12, 2020, 40-year-old Zachary Torres was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Martin Luther King Center in South Dallas. Similar to Tony Duncan's case, Torres's belongings were untouched, suggesting a lack of clear motive.
Two days prior, on March 10, 2020, another individual was shot multiple times while walking near Park Row and Colonial. This victim survived and described the assailant as wearing a mask. The randomness and lack of apparent motive in these attacks raised significant concern among law enforcement officials.
As of April 9, 2020, Dallas Police Department detectives Abel Lopez and Patty Belew were actively investigating these cases, expressing concerns about the seemingly random nature of the shootings. They urged the public to assist in identifying the suspects captured on surveillance footage, emphasizing the urgency of preventing further violence.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement and appeals to the community, no arrests have been reported in connection with the death of Tony Duncan, a 47-year-old male, as of the latest available information. The investigation remains open, and authorities continue to seek leads to bring those responsible to justice.
