Alvin Jerome Joseph Jr., a 32-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on March 2, 2016, while walking his dog along the 9900 block of Adleta Boulevard in Northeast Dallas. The shooting occurred just after midnight; Dallas Police Department investigators responded but the case remains unsolved under case number 050735-2016.

The Dallas Police Department’s Cold Case Unit has repeatedly sought the public’s help over the years, most recently in October 2024, asking anyone with information to come forward. Family and community members continue to be affected by his death, and police have emphasized that even small tips could be important to resolving the case.

Does anyone who lived in or near Northeast Dallas in 2016 remember seeing or hearing anything that might help investigators?
