Daylan Burns was 22 when he was fatally shot on August 17, 2021, while sitting in his vehicle at the Extended Stay America on the 9000 block of Vantage Point Drive in Lake Highlands, Dallas. Officers found Burns with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead at the scene. The Dallas Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating; Detective Antonio Machorro is listed as the lead investigator and Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment.

No arrests have been announced. The case has also prompted questions about security at the hotel, with the Murray Law Firm saying an immediate, unbiased inspection would be needed to determine whether negligent security played a role and noting the family could pursue civil claims if deficiencies are found.

Any details about the shooting or the hotel’s security that could help investigators are welcome.
