Demarkus Curtis, 29, was found fatally shot inside his SUV on July 13, 2021, on Easter Avenue in Dallas. Officers answered a shooting call about 7:45 p.m.; Dallas Fire and Rescue took Curtis to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Witness accounts and the investigation indicate a Black male suspect fled the scene in a newer model silver or champagne-colored large SUV, possibly a Cadillac Escalade or a Suburban. Motive and circumstances remain unclear and no suspect has been arrested. The Dallas Police Department is seeking help from the public and has offered up to a $5,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest and indictment.

Curtis’s family and friends continue to grieve this loss. If anyone has information about the shooting or the vehicle seen leaving the scene, please contact investigators.
