Gerald Wayne Harris, 59, a homeless man, was found with a gunshot wound in the parking lot of a Lake Highlands shopping center in Dallas on August 19, 2019. Police were called for shots fired around 12:12 a.m.; Harris was discovered injured, taken to a nearby hospital, and later pronounced dead. Witnesses said Harris mostly kept to himself.

The investigation led to the arrest of 21-year-old Reginal Reshard Knox on October 3, 2019. Police charged Knox with capital murder after he allegedly confessed and was seen on surveillance footage riding away on Harris’s bicycle after the shooting. Tips from viewers of a local news segment helped locate him; U.S. Marshals arrested Knox at the Dallas Greyhound station as he got off a bus. Detectives said Knox’s brother had been shot and killed by Dallas SWAT officers the week before, and they suspected Knox might return home for the burial, which factored into locating him. Knox is in custody on a capital murder warrant and bond had not been set.

Does anyone in the Lake Highlands area remember seeing a man on a bicycle that night or have other information about Harris’s movements?
