Camran Kashawn Collier, a 19-year-old African American man, was found fatally wounded in the driver’s seat of his Honda Accord on Westlake Drive in DeSoto, Texas, on April 22, 2021. DeSoto police determined robbery was the likely motive in the killing.

A 16-year-old juvenile suspect with an extensive criminal record was identified and arrested for capital murder. That suspect had been fitted with an electronic leg monitor earlier but removed it in early April, hindering tracking; Dallas officers located and arrested him on May 12, 2021.

Following Camran’s death, social media rumors falsely identified 20-year-old Kolby Graham as the killer. Camran’s brother, Norman Collier IV, acting on those false posts, shot and killed Graham during a balloon release ceremony for Camran; Norman was arrested and charged with Graham’s capital murder. The case underscores how misinformation on social media contributed to a wrongful targeting that produced another death.

Did anyone in DeSoto see or hear anything around Westlake Drive on April 22, 2021, that could help clarify events leading up to Camran’s death?
