Marin Deleon, a 25-year-old Hispanic man, was found shot and later died on August 12, 2018, in the parking lot of the Mountain Creek Apartments on Persimmon Road in Dallas. According to reports, Deleon arrived home from work and parked his truck around 2 a.m., then remained inside with the window partially down for several hours. He was discovered on the ground with an apparent gunshot wound after a passerby called 911 at about 8 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at 8:20 a.m.

Surveillance footage and a witness account show two men approaching Deleon’s truck around 5 a.m. One of those men has been identified as 35-year-old Kevin Mead of New Orleans. Mead was arrested and charged with capital murder and admitted his role during an interview with detectives; he was held on $1 million bond. Investigators have not identified the other man captured on video. Deleon’s wife said his phone and wallet were missing from the truck and the glove compartment was open.

What did anyone who lived in or around Mountain Creek Apartments notice that morning or in the hours before the shooting?
