Gerlando Halstid, a 39-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on September 25, 2016, at the Hidden Ranch Apartment Homes in northeast Dallas. He was one of two victims in a drive-up shooting; witnesses described a shooter who arrived in a car with two other men and opened fire. The other victim, 42-year-old Brashaun Boyce, was transported to a hospital and later died.

The day after the shooting, 34-year-old Melvin Jackson was arrested and charged in connection with the murders; he was held in the Dallas County Jail awaiting trial. Neighbors and friends described the victims as well-regarded in their community, and investigators questioned neighbors and collected evidence at the scene while asking the public for help.
