Kealon Dejuane Gilmore, 26, of Dallas was fatally shot on April 2, 2022 at a large, non-permitted event called the Epic Easter Bike Out and Field Party in southeast Oak Cliff. The gathering drew about 2,000 people; a fight broke out and gunfire followed. Kealon was among 16 people wounded and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation has been complicated by the retirement of two detectives who had worked the case; Detective Eric Barnes is now handling the matter and police say they are seeking new leads.

Kealon’s family has been outspoken about wanting justice. His mother, Shalonda Gilmore, has urged the community to come forward with information and the family has organized tributes while calling for tighter controls on non-permitted events to prevent similar violence. If anyone was at the Epic Easter Bike Out and Field Party or has information about the shooting, can you share what you know with investigators?
