Harvey Deontay Hughes, a 32-year-old African American man, died after being shot in Dallas on May 16, 2021. The shooting occurred at about 9:50 p.m. in the Pleasant Grove area, in the 10100 block of Bruton Road near North Masters Drive. Hughes was taken to a local hospital and died nine days later, on May 25, 2021.

Investigators say the shooting began as a road rage altercation when Hughes was driving out of a parking lot and exchanged words with the suspect. As the suspect left, he fired multiple shots into Hughes’ vehicle. The suspect was described as a Hispanic male about 20 to 25 years old, driving a pickup truck with a distinctive left front quarter panel that was either white or tan.

The Dallas Police Department’s homicide unit is handling the case, with Detective Rawleigh Williams seeking public tips. Crime Stoppers has offered up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Hughes’ mother, Sandra Potter, has spoken publicly about her grief and the family’s need for justice.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the pickup truck, please share what you know with investigators.
