Security Officer Killed, Five Hurt in Two Overnight Deep Ellum Shootings

Police say the separate shootings remain under active investigation with one man detained in the club killing.

Overview

  • Police say a fight near Commerce Street and Malcolm X Boulevard just before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday led to gunfire that wounded five people.
  • Officers then got reports around 12:30 a.m. of a shooting at La Tardeada Club on Elm Street where a 26-year-old security officer was shot and later died.
  • Investigators detained one man and recovered a weapon in the second shooting, though they are still working to confirm if he was the shooter.
  • Detectives believe some first-scene victims were bystanders, and all five hospitalized patients are expected to survive at Baylor University Medical Center.
  • Dallas police shut parts of the Deep Ellum nightlife district, cleared both scenes, and say the incidents appear unrelated as both cases stay active.
