LaDarron Perkins, a 39-year-old African American man from Dallas, Texas, was fatally shot on July 31, 2021. Authorities say the shooting occurred in Dallas and that his body was later moved to Van Zandt County, where it was found in a shallow grave.

Investigators arrested 45-year-old Casey Lynn Spriggs of Dallas and charged him with murder; he was booked into the Van Zandt County Jail with bond set at $1,000,000. Mesquite resident Roger Deloss McCasland, also 45, pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence for helping to conceal Perkins’ body and received a 12-year prison sentence as part of a plea agreement. The Texas Rangers and the Van Zandt County Sheriff’s Office were involved in the investigation.

Perkins is remembered by family and friends as a father, brother, and community member. Does anyone have information about Perkins’ movements in Dallas around July 31, 2021, or other details that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
