Jasmond Jaz Sanchez, 29, was shot and killed on October 31, 2021, in the 2700 block of Coombs Street in South Dallas, near Al Lipscomb Way and South Malcolm X Boulevard. Police say Sanchez and 28-year-old Kevontre Jawauna Jones became involved in a physical altercation and that Jones allegedly shot Sanchez multiple times. Sanchez was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Jones fled the scene in a car with a juvenile, later called 911 to report the shooting, and was arrested the next day. He has been charged with murder and faces additional drug possession charges; bail was set at $250,500. Jones told investigators he shot Sanchez because he feared for his life, saying Sanchez had attacked him and tried to force his way into Jones’ car. Both men’s mothers said the two had known each other for years and had recently been on bad terms; detectives say Jones had allegedly threatened to kill Sanchez several times before the shooting.

The case remains under investigation and Jones is awaiting trial. Does anyone have information about Sanchez, his movements that night, or about the confrontation leading up to the shooting?
