Damon Lerone Hines, a 39-year-old African American man from Dallas, Texas, was tragically killed on May 4, 2019. He was found shot near the back of an apartment complex in the 2700 block of E. Ledbetter at approximately 1:12 a.m. Damon was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was part of a particularly violent night in Dallas, which saw five fatal shootings in a span of seven hours.
Damon's mother, Susan Watson, has been vocal about seeking justice for her son.
She believes that clues to Damon's murder may have local ties, as he had mentioned to her earlier in the week that some people he was hanging out with in Temple had turned on him. Despite the family's plea for information, police have not identified any suspects or leads in the case. Dallas Police Crime Stoppers have offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment for this felony offense.
The investigation into Damon Hines' murder remains open, and his family continues to seek answers and justice for his untimely death. The community and authorities are hopeful that someone with information will come forward to help solve this case and bring closure to Damon's loved ones.
