Jeremy Michael Averett, a 22-year-old from Dallas, Texas, was shot and killed on March 23, 2020, during a late-night drug deal near the 11600 block of Dennis Road. Officers arriving about 11 p.m. found him slumped over in the driver’s seat with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

Police say the transaction involved 19-year-old Eissa Yanouri-Roa. A witness told investigators Yanouri-Roa entered Averett’s vehicle and asked the driver to stop several times; when Averett refused, both men produced firearms and exchanged gunfire. Yanouri-Roa was also injured, treated at a hospital, identified by the witness, and later booked on a murder charge after refusing to give detectives a statement.

Averett’s family and friends remember him fondly and are mourning his death. Does anyone have information about that stretch of Dennis Road or the people involved on the night of March 23, 2020?
