Eric Morgan, a 31-year-old male, Black/African American, was found late on the night of September 7, 2025, after Dallas police responded to a shooting call in the 1800 block of Mentor Avenue. Officers discovered Eric Morgan unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound; Dallas Fire-Rescue transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The case was opened as a homicide under number 129310-2025 as detectives began piecing together what unfolded on that South Dallas street.
In the hours that followed, the circumstances remained stark and spare: a late-night call, a wounded 31-year-old male named Eric Morgan, and an address on Mentor Avenue that quickly turned into a crime scene. Police described the inquiry as ongoing and appealed for information from anyone who might have seen or heard something, a plea amplified by local coverage that noted the quiet of the neighborhood giving way to flashing lights and taped-off pavement.
By the next day, authorities had not announced any arrests in the killing of Eric Morgan, age 31, and said they were still working to determine what led to the gunfire. Reporting identified the lead investigator as Detective Cody Fehrenbach and reiterated that no suspect or suspects had been publicly named. Community bulletins and aggregated memorial listings echoed the same details—date, place, and the unresolved nature of the crime.
