Mikel Trumane Ford, 47, was found with a gunshot wound in his apartment in the 8000 block of West Virginia Drive in Dallas on January 13, 2022. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries.

Police arrested 24-year-old Rodger Christopher Harris on suspicion of shooting Ford. According to the arrest warrant, the shooting followed an argument that began when Ford went to his stepdaughter’s bedroom and demanded more support for a child shared by Ford and Harris. The stepdaughter and her aunt identified Harris as the shooter. The warrant alleges Harris pulled out a handgun and shot Ford three times after Ford clenched his fist as if to strike him. Harris was booked into the Dallas County jail on January 26, 2022, and a judge denied bond.

The family is described as grieving and seeking justice. Does anyone have information about Ford, the apartment, or the events that led up to this confrontation?
