Simmion Diya Dillard, a 41-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on September 3, 2021, in the 1900 block of Singleton Boulevard in West Dallas. The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. after an altercation with an unknown individual. About 15 minutes later an older-model Cutlass, described as possibly primer gray or light blue, pulled up; witnesses saw Dillard walk toward the parking lot where the vehicle had stopped and then heard gunshots. Dillard was fatally wounded.

Dallas Homicide Detective Chris Anderson is leading the investigation. Video shows a person exit the Cutlass, walk along a fence line, and then quickly return to the car and flee after the shots. Multiple witnesses and footage exist, but investigators have had difficulty identifying the driver because several witnesses have been reluctant to come forward.

The case remains active as detectives continue to seek information. If anyone saw the Cutlass or the person who left the vehicle that night, please contact Detective Anderson with any details that could help identify the driver.
