Eric Dondre Cotton was a 23-year-old African American man who was shot in Arlington, Texas, on May 20, 2019. He was found slumped over inside a parked vehicle and taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead three days later. The shooting occurred during a violent crime spree in the area.

Investigators say four suspects blocked Eric’s vehicle with another car, a brief confrontation followed, and shots were fired striking him. The suspects fled in their vehicle. Multiple agencies, including the Arlington Police Department and the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force, worked the case. Four people were later charged with capital murder; one initially evaded capture but was subsequently arrested.
