Mikael L. Hudson was 19 when he was shot and killed on August 1, 2008, in Dallas, Texas. The shooting happened in the 4700 block of Stokes Street while Mikael was a backseat passenger in a car; the attack reportedly began over a dispute about a parking space.

Eric Edwards was arrested and later convicted of Mikael’s murder. He was sentenced to 99 years in prison, and the court affirmed the conviction, rejecting Edwards’ claim that the shooting was meant only to show who was boss rather than to kill.

Mikael’s family and friends have mourned his loss and honored his memory through tributes and memorials. If anyone was in the area that day or has information about interactions leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
