Cedric Dawkins, 29, was found in his apartment in the 2300 block of Streambed Court in Arlington, Texas, on January 1, 2020, and was pronounced dead at a hospital after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. The Arlington Police Department opened a homicide investigation and canvassed the area for witnesses and surveillance footage.

Investigators identified and arrested 27-year-old Antonio Garcia in Los Angeles; he was charged with murder in connection with Dawkins’ death and was awaiting extradition to Tarrant County. Police said Dawkins may have been involved in high-risk activity that led to the shooting. The case was noted as Arlington’s first murder of 2020 and prompted cooperation between local and federal authorities.

Did anyone in Arlington have contact with Dawkins around New Year’s Day or recall activity near Streambed Court that could help investigators?
