DUNCANVILLE, Texas — Authorities continue to investigate a deadly shooting in Duncanville that left one woman dead and a man injured, while detectives work to determine what led to the gunfire.
The incident occurred at the Wexford Townhomes, where Duncanville police officers responded shortly after midnight following reports of a shooting.
Woman killed, man injured
Police were dispatched at approximately 12:07 a.m. to the townhome complex in the area of Wemberly Circle and Woburn Lane.
When officers arrived, they discovered an adult woman and an adult man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Duncanville Fire Department personnel provided emergency medical treatment at the scene before both victims were transported to area hospitals.
The woman was taken to Methodist Dallas Medical Center, where she later died from her injuries. The man was transported to Methodist Charlton Medical Center and was reported to have non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities have not released the identities of the victims.
Police pursuit follows shooting
The investigation took another turn when officers who were already in the area reportedly saw a white Dodge Challenger leaving the scene at a high rate of speed.
Officers initiated a pursuit that continued into Dallas.
The pursuit eventually ended in the 6300 block of Interstate 20, where police took Emajin Trevon Jackson into custody without incident.
Jackson was being held at the Tri-City Regional Jail in DeSoto on a charge of evading arrest or detention with a motor vehicle.
Police identified him as a person of interest in the shooting investigation, with additional charges potentially pending as detectives continue reviewing the evidence.
Investigators examine possible disturbance
Preliminary information from investigators indicates that a disturbance may have occurred before the shooting.
Detectives are working to establish what happened before the gunfire, whether the victims were specifically targeted and what role, if any, the person of interest allegedly played.
Authorities have not announced a definitive motive.
Investigation remains active
Detectives continue processing evidence and gathering information from witnesses as they reconstruct the sequence of events.
Investigators are expected to examine physical evidence from the townhome complex, witness accounts and any available surveillance footage.
Police have not released additional details while the investigation remains active.
Community seeks answers
The deadly shooting has left the Duncanville community awaiting answers about what led to the violence and why the confrontation escalated.
The investigation also remains subject to the normal criminal-justice process, and being identified as a person of interest or being arrested on a separate charge does not establish that an individual committed the shooting.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the Duncanville Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at (972) 780-5037.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities may announce additional charges or information as detectives continue working to establish the full circumstances surrounding the shooting.
