Lemondo Simmons, a 46-year-old African American man, was tragically killed on May 31, 2019, in Dallas, Texas. Simmons, a father of four, was fatally shot after leaving a check cashing location early in the morning. He had gone to the location to withdraw money sent by his girlfriend to pay a rental car bill. As he was about to get into his car, he was confronted by a suspect who demanded money.
Simmons was shot multiple times and collapsed near his vehicle before being shot again as he tried to run away.
The suspect, described as wearing a green hoodie and having one or more gold teeth, fled the scene on foot. The incident was captured on a distant surveillance camera, but the footage was not clear. Police believe the suspect may have approached another person in the area shortly before attacking Simmons. Despite efforts to identify and locate the suspect, no arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved.
In the aftermath of Simmons' death, his family has been left to grapple with the loss of a beloved father and husband. The Dallas Police Department has continued to seek public assistance in identifying and capturing the suspect, offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. The investigation remains open, and anyone with information is encouraged to come forward to help bring justice for Lemondo Simmons.
