Erriton McDowell, 38, was found shot to death on February 14, 2022, in the 5000 block of Wadsworth Drive in Oak Cliff, Dallas. Children walking to school discovered him and alerted authorities after neighbors said gunfire had been heard the night before but not reported because it was common in the area.

Investigators say there was no apparent motive; McDowell reportedly had no known conflicts. Security footage and witness accounts placed a white or light-colored SUV, possibly a 2020 Jeep Cherokee, near the scene. Video reportedly showed a man running toward Great Trinity Forest Way and the SUV picking up another man before leaving.

No arrests have been announced and the Dallas Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers or Detective Jake Morgan. Does anyone have information that could help identify the suspects or that night’s activity in the Oak Cliff area?
