David Damato, 21, was fatally shot during a February 9, 2020 break-in at his apartment in the Red Bird neighborhood of Dallas. Another intruder, identified as Josiah Salinas, then shot Damato multiple times with a 9mm HighPoint rifle, killing him.

Police say the group — Salinas, Damarte Burt and two juveniles — entered through a balcony door and stole cash, jewelry, shoes and Damato’s gun before fleeing. The suspects took an injured juvenile to a hospital, where that juvenile was detained; Burt and Salinas later admitted roles in the incident and were charged with capital murder along with the two juveniles.

The report emphasizes the robbery motive alleged by Salinas and the violence of the invasion. Did anyone in the Red Bird area see activity around that apartment on the morning of February 9, 2020 or have information that could help clarify what happened?
