Adane Weldekiros, a 72-year-old Ethiopian-born American who worked as an unarmed overnight security guard at a Dallas Holiday Inn Express, was shot and killed outside the hotel on March 28, 2018. The shooting happened around 1 a.m.; guests and coworkers inside the hotel reported hearing gunshots and Weldekiros’ pleas for his life before he was struck multiple times.

Police arrested 34-year-old Randal Terrell at the scene after witnesses said he had been ejected from the hotel earlier that evening for belligerent and disruptive behavior. Terrell was found sitting on a bench with his gun in an open suitcase and, when questioned, admitted to pulling the trigger but gave no motive. He was charged with murder and held on $100,000 bond.

Those who knew Weldekiros described him as kind, gentle and dedicated; he had worked in security for over a decade and had been on the hotel’s overnight shift for about three months. Does anyone have information about what led to Terrell returning to the hotel that night or about Weldekiros’ shift and duties that could help clarify the events?
