On February 2, 2019, 28-year-old Saquan Ross was fatally shot in the 7200 block of Ferguson Road in Dallas, Texas. Ross was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds. The investigation led police to identify 41-year-old Demarcus Battson as the suspect. Battson turned himself into Dallas Police Headquarters with the help of his family and admitted to shooting Ross during questioning.
Following his confession, Battson was arrested and charged with
murder. His bond was set at $100,000. The case has since seen legal proceedings, including a probate lawsuit filed on October 15, 2021, in Dallas County Probate Court, overseen by Judge Brenda H. Thompson. The case remains pending.
The tragic death of Saquan Ross and the subsequent legal actions against Demarcus Battson highlight the serious consequences of violent crime and the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to bring justice to victims and their families.
