Anthony Ray Patterson, 47, was shot and killed in Dallas on August 6, 2020, in what investigators believe was a case of mistaken identity. Patterson had borrowed a car to run an errand in the early morning hours and was inside the vehicle when a gunman opened fire. Detectives say the shooter was reportedly looking for someone who had previously been in the same car; Patterson was caught in the crossfire and likely had no idea he was being targeted.

Surveillance footage captured the car Patterson was in and the shooter’s vehicle passing through an intersection where the fatal shots were fired. The suspect car is described as a blue two-door sports car with tinted windows and a rear spoiler, a model believed to be from about 2014 to 2020. No arrests have been announced and Dallas police are asking the public for help; Crime Stoppers is offering a reward that could lead to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone has information about the blue sports car or the shooting that killed Anthony Ray Patterson, please contact Dallas police or Crime Stoppers.
