Shanique Shameion Alex, 25, was found shot in the driver’s seat of a car on East Illinois Avenue in Dallas on March 9, 2022. First responders located her with a gunshot wound to her upper back; she was taken to a hospital and later died. A passenger in the vehicle was injured and kept in stable condition.

Police believe Shanique was not the intended target. Detectives have identified a red Chevrolet Impala, likely a 2014 or 2015 model with a large dent in the driver’s rear passenger door and sport rims, on surveillance footage from the scene and are seeking information about that vehicle and the shooter. No arrests have been announced; Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $5,000 reward for tips.

Shanique was a mother of two and was driving family members to a neighborhood store when the shooting occurred. If anyone has information about the red Impala or the incident, please contact Dallas Police Homicide or Crime Stoppers.
