Dynasty Alexander was 18 when her body was found near an orchard on the 19700 block of Hosfield Drive, south of Elk Bayou Park in Tulare, California. She was discovered on March 3, 2019 with visible trauma to her upper torso; deputies treated the death as a homicide and Tulare County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Detectives took over the investigation.

Investigators say 55-year-old Dale Watson of Porterville picked up Alexander outside a Tulare apartment complex the morning of March 3, 2019, reportedly offering to drive her to the store. Security footage showed Watson’s truck leaving with Alexander, and witnesses later placed that truck in the area where her body was found. Alexander died of a gunshot wound to her upper torso. Deputies arrested Watson two days after the discovery.

Anyone who was in the Elk Bayou Park area on March 3, 2019 or who has information about Dynasty’s movements that day is asked to come forward.
