A confrontation over a parked car near the Austin Street Center, a homeless services hub just off the 1800 block of Jeffries Street in South Dallas, ended with a fatal shooting on August 31, 2025. Officers arrived about 5:10 p.m. and found Dagoverto Rodriguez, 60, gravely wounded; he was taken to a hospital and later died. The medical examiner was to confirm the victim’s identity and officials later identified him as Dagoverto Rodriguez, 60.

Police arrested 66-year-old Charles Reeder after he flagged down officers and admitted to firing the shot. Reeder was booked into the Dallas County Jail on a murder charge and investigators logged the case under number 125543-2025. Local gun-violence trackers recorded Rodriguez among the weekend’s victims; reporting says the dispute began over a parked car by the shelter and escalated into a fight before the shooting.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who used the Austin Street Center that evening see the argument or the person who fired?
