On a Tuesday afternoon in Dallas, Texas, the life of 42-year-old Dominique Jarmain Wrice was cut short in a fatal shooting on June 2, 2026. The incident occurred around 12:46 p.m. in the 13600 block of the eastbound C.F. Hawn Freeway service road. Dallas Police officers and Dallas Fire-Rescue personnel responded to the scene, where Wrice was found to have sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead.
Wrice was born on November 4, 1983, and was remembered by loved ones as a kind and caring man who deeply valued his family.
The investigation into the shooting quickly led authorities to a suspect, 22-year-old Jordan Brown. According to an arrest affidavit, the confrontation stemmed from Brown being friendly with Wrice's girlfriend, which had led to previous one-sided arguments initiated by Wrice. On the day of the shooting, Brown alleged that Wrice approached him in a parking lot, removed his shirt, and attempted to punch him. Brown claimed he acted in self-defense, shooting Wrice multiple times because he was scared. After the incident, Brown fled the scene.
Following the shooting, authorities tracked Brown to Fate, Texas, a suburb approximately 30 miles northeast of Dallas. He was apprehended and transported back to Dallas Police Headquarters for questioning. A handgun was recovered from his vehicle. Brown was subsequently arrested and charged with murder, and he was booked into the Dallas County Jail. As of early June 2026, the investigation was still ongoing, and authorities were asking anyone with information to come forward. The case, which authorities have cleared by arrest, highlights a fatal escalation of a personal dispute.
