Deionte Marquinn Tatum, 24, was fatally shot while driving on Bluewood Drive in Red-bird, Texas, on August 3, 2018. The shooting happened about 11:12 p.m. as Tatum and a friend, 19-year-old DeKylon Jones, were fired upon. Dallas Fire-Rescue took Tatum to a local hospital where he died; Jones was wounded and taken to a hospital in a private vehicle and survived.

The Dallas Police Department treated the attack as targeted and assigned Detective Loeb to the case. Tips led investigators to identify a potential shooter as 28-year-old Dantae Brooks, who was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; detectives continued to seek additional suspects. Family and friends held vigils and memorials while the investigation and prosecution proceeded.

If anyone knew Deionte, was in the area that night, or has information about additional people involved, please share what can help the case.
