Corey Sanders, a 38-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on September 17, 2018, at the Sunoco Food Mart on Highway 175 and St. Augustine in Pleasant Grove, Dallas. The shooting occurred just after 6 p.m. when a fight broke out between two women, Jessica Henderson and Elizabeth Lovejoy. A man later identified as Donald Ray Taylor pulled out a gun and shot both Henderson and Sanders. Sanders, who had children with Lovejoy, was described as an innocent bystander and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Taylor, a 29-year-old African American male, fled in a gold Honda CRV and was later charged with capital murder for the deaths of Sanders and Henderson. Witnesses reported Taylor was last seen wearing a black shirt and jeans and that he goes by the street names Junior or Black. The Dallas Police Department has been seeking information from the public and gathering witness statements.

Community members have offered condolences and support to the victims’ families.
