Fourteen-year-old Natalie Hernandez of Dallas was killed in a drive-by shooting on February 12, 2018. She was sitting in a car with three friends parked near Umphress Park and Nathaniel Hawthorne Elementary School when a dark-colored vehicle pulled up and opened fire. Natalie and a 16-year-old boy were shot; the boy survived, and the other two passengers were unharmed. Natalie was taken to Baylor University Medical Center but died of her injuries.

Dallas police reviewed surveillance footage from nearby businesses and said witnesses described four men in a dark-colored car as the shooters. Two men, George Salazar and Ernest Salazar, were arrested about two weeks later and charged with murder; detectives continued to seek motive and any additional suspects. The community held vigils and memorials, including a candlelight vigil where 14 balloons were released in Natalie’s honor.

Who in the area might have information about that car or the men seen near Umphress Park that night?
