On the evening of July 9, 2024, at approximately 7:10 p.m., Dallas Police responded to a shooting incident in the 4500 block of Silver Springs Circle in West Oak Cliff. Upon arrival, officers discovered 25-year-old Maikal Izaipe lying on the ground outside a residence, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Despite the prompt response from Dallas Fire-Rescue, Izaipe was pronounced dead at the scene.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Izaipe had been involved in a physical altercation with 25-year-old Naudy Hernandez Perez, an individual known to him. During the confrontation, Hernandez Perez allegedly produced a firearm and shot Izaipe. Subsequently, an arrest warrant for murder was issued for Hernandez Perez.
On July 12, 2024, Hernandez Perez was apprehended in Medina County, Texas, located southwest of San Antonio. Authorities had received information suggesting that Hernandez Perez was attempting to flee to Mexico. Deputies from the Medina County Sheriff's Office spotted his vehicle on Interstate 35 near Devine, Texas. When they attempted a traffic stop, Hernandez Perez reportedly drove into the median and fled on foot into a brushy area. After a brief pursuit, he was captured and taken into custody without further incident.
Following his arrest, Hernandez Perez was booked into the Medina County Jail, facing charges of murder and evading arrest. He is expected to be transferred to Dallas County to face the charges related to Izaipe's death. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting remains ongoing, as authorities continue to gather evidence and testimonies to build a comprehensive case.
