Tyrek Jenkins, 19, was shot and killed on November 30, 2017, in the 1400 block of Gardenside Drive in the Pleasant Grove area of Dallas. He was walking home from a convenience store shortly after 11:00 p.m. when he was struck; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his injuries. Witnesses reported seeing a vehicle, possibly a Honda Odyssey, speeding away from the scene.

The Dallas Police Department investigated the killing, offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment, and asked the public for help. In February 2018, a suspect named Terrance Jones was arrested on outstanding warrants and charged with Jenkins’ murder; authorities say Jones admitted to the shooting and he was booked into Dallas County Jail with bail set at $500,000. Tyrek was remembered by family and friends as a young father and a good, quiet kid; his grandfather is civil rights activist Reverend Ronald Wright, who publicly called for justice.

Are there details about that night or the vehicle people remember that could help investigators?
