Sylvester Veal Jr., a 33-year-old man from Dallas, was found dead in the South Dallas neighborhood on the morning of January 16, 2020. He was discovered lying at the side of the road in the 1600 block of Pine Street around midnight. Detectives determined he died from homicidal violence, and police reported a significant amount of blood at the scene.

Investigators noted a red car on nearby surveillance footage around the time of the incident. Two people were later arrested and charged with capital murder: Brent Burr was arrested January 18, 2020, and Carina Anaya Villa was arrested January 27, 2020. Both were held in the Dallas County Jail on bonds reported as $500,000 for each, with Burr’s bond later noted as $601,000. Authorities have asked the public for information and offered up to a $5,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest and indictment.

Are there witnesses or anyone with dashcam or surveillance video from the 1600 block of Pine Street around midnight on January 16 who can help?
