Nikel Perkins was 24 when she was fatally shot on December 22, 2019, in Oak Cliff, Dallas. She had been attending a holiday party for her horseback trail riding group Buckwild Gang at a community center when a fight erupted outside between two groups; Perkins was not involved in the altercation and was struck in the crossfire.

Perkins, described by family and friends as vibrant and well respected, worked as a medical provider at Baylor Scott & White. The family has offered a reward through Crime Stoppers and continues to press for information.

Did anyone at the Buckwild Gang event or nearby that night see something that could help police identify who fired the shots?
