Quincey Brooks Jr., 22, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest on the breezeway floor of an apartment complex in Dallas on June 8, 2021. He was taken to a local hospital and died from his injuries. Brooks was the father of a 2-year-old child.

Police identified Brooks’ girlfriend, 20-year-old Shohreh Rachelle Polozadeh, as responsible for the shooting and charged her with murder. Police reports say Polozadeh claimed she shot Brooks in self-defense; investigators later described her statements as contradictory and misleading. Text messages between the couple from the day of the shooting included threats by Polozadeh toward Brooks just hours before he was shot.

The circumstances around what led to the shooting and the conflicting accounts remain central to the case. Anyone with information about Brooks, Polozadeh, or the events at the apartment complex that day is asked to come forward.
