Michael Deshawn Daniels, 40, of Dallas was shot and killed on November 23, 2018. He was found with a gunshot wound on the front porch of a residence in the 500 block of Woodacre Drive around 7:21 p.m. and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died later that night. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and interviewed witnesses; no suspect description was released at the scene.

The case was assigned to Detective Frank Serra and police asked the public for information. In December 2018 Jason Young, 36, was charged with capital murder; arrest affidavits say Young claimed he and an associate known as Lil A had arranged to meet Daniels and another person to buy marijuana and that, during an altercation, Lil A returned fire and struck Daniels. Authorities later identified Lil A as Ahmard Jackson, 34, who was charged with capital murder in February 2019; Jackson’s record noted prior convictions including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and burglary, plus outstanding warrants.

Any witnesses or anyone with information about the shooting on Woodacre Drive is asked to come forward.
