Natalya Salmon was an 18-year-old who died on November 17, 2019, in Dallas, Texas. Her death was the result of a drive-by shooting near a park; four men in a Chevy Tahoe reportedly pulled up to the car she was in and fired multiple times in broad daylight, and Natalya was fatally wounded.

Police investigated and later arrested several individuals who were charged with murder and related offenses. The case drew substantial media attention and the community followed the legal proceedings closely as the suspects went to trial.

Natalya’s family remained active through the investigation and hearings and later established a foundation in her memory to support victims of violent crime and promote community safety.
