Patrick PJ Parks Jr., 21, was found shot to death on a sidewalk in Oak Cliff, Dallas, on December 26, 2019, around 9 p.m. The shooting followed a planned meeting for a drug deal with 22-year-old Fernando Luciana Mancha. When the witness tried to place his firearm on the ground, the other suspect allegedly attempted to take it, sparking a physical struggle. Parks ran down the sidewalk and was shot by Mancha; he collapsed and was later found dead at the scene.

Detectives reviewed security footage and interviewed witnesses, work that led to Mancha’s arrest on a murder charge; he was being held in the Dallas County Jail. The investigation is ongoing and authorities are seeking additional information to strengthen the case. Parks’ family and friends remember him as smart, funny and kind, and they continue to seek justice for his death.
