David Eugene Young, 38, was shot and killed in the front yard of his Dallas apartment at about 5 a.m. on September 13, 2020. Officers who responded to a shooting call at 4330 Dickason Avenue found Young lying motionless; Dallas Fire-Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene.

A 30-year-old suspect, Kamron Michael Bell, was located a block away, injured and lying in the middle of Wycliff Avenue and Cedar Springs Road. Bell was taken to a hospital, later transported to the Dallas County Jail, and charged with murder. During the trial Bell pleaded guilty and jurors saw a neighbor’s cellphone video of him standing over Young and striking him outside the apartment. Bell told the court that he and Young had spent hours mixing cocaine, psychedelic mushrooms, marijuana, and alcohol and that he had been hallucinating when the shooting occurred. The jury sentenced Bell to 40 years; he is not eligible for parole until he has served 20 years.

Young’s parents, David and Debbie, and other relatives spoke in court about their loss and their view that Bell’s apology was not sincere. If anyone knew David Young, his movements that morning, or has information about the events at 4330 Dickason Avenue, please come forward.
