Adrian Cole, 50, of Dallas, Texas, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on September 16, 2022, near the front door of an apartment on Terrell Street. Police reports say the shooting occurred early that morning after an argument. Officers discovered Cole deceased when they arrived at the scene.

Investigators say the shooter was Cole’s 22-year-old stepson, De Jairron Cooper, who was arrested and charged with murder. According to an affidavit, the altercation began when Cole showed up at the apartment and began banging on the door; Cole then became aggressive and grabbed another person’s arm, and Cooper admitted to shooting him twice. Cooper was taken into custody and booked into the Dallas County jail and the case remains under investigation as court proceedings continue.

Cole is remembered by family and friends as a son, brother and friend. Does anyone who knew Adrian or who was in that neighborhood that morning have information that could help clarify what happened?
