Owen Constantine Dewar Jr., 21, died on July 30, 2020, in Grand Prairie, Texas. Police were called about 4:50 p.m. to the 700 block of E. Palace Parkway and found Dewar deceased in his vehicle. His death was initially reported as a traffic accident but was later found to be from a gunshot wound, and the investigation was treated as a murder.

A 28-year-old Garland man, Roland Randall, was located at the scene and arrested; he was charged with murder and investigators said there were no other suspects. Authorities have not disclosed the nature of the relationship between Randall and Dewar. Dewar was born January 26, 1999, to Owen C. Dewar Sr. and Theresa Dewar. A memorial scholarship fund was later established in his name.

Does anyone have information about Dewar’s activities in Grand Prairie or who might have witnessed the incident on E. Palace Parkway?
