Cordney Dawson, 43, of Dallas was fatally shot on June 26, 2022, outside the Tiger Mart in Oak Cliff while trying to stop a group of teenagers from stealing his pickup. Dawson had left the truck running while he went into the convenience store and climbed through the sunroof in an attempt to prevent the theft. He was shot during the confrontation and later died at a hospital.

Police arrested 17-year-old Jeremy Wilson on charges of capital murder as the alleged getaway driver after surveillance video and witness testimony helped identify suspects. The teenager named as the shooter, Javarian Stranger, remains at large. Family and friends have held memorial gatherings, including one on what would have been Dawson’s 44th birthday, and continue to seek justice and closure.

If anyone witnessed the theft or the shooting outside the Tiger Mart on June 26, 2022, or has information about Javarian Stranger’s whereabouts, please come forward.
