An 18-year-old student and father, Kamron Juelz Taque, was fatally shot in South Dallas in the early hours of April 20, 2025. The shooting occurred about 3:35 a.m. in the 4300 block of South Malcolm X Boulevard after Dallas police responded to reports of gunfire and found two people with gunshot wounds. Kamron was taken by Dallas Fire-Rescue to a hospital, where he died; the other victim was driven to a hospital in a private vehicle, treated and later released.

Kamron lived in Garland and attended South Garland High School. Family members remember him as intelligent, funny, ambitious and loving, and say he was a devoted father to his son, Abel. No arrests have been announced; the Dallas Police Department is investigating under case number 055233-2025, led by Detective M. Christian, and is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone in the area have information about that April 20 shooting or remember seeing activity on South Malcolm X Boulevard that night?
