Just after midnight on June 20, 2025, 19-year-old David Stribling was shot on the 2600 block of Main Street in Dallas’ Deep Ellum entertainment district. Officers arrived about 12:40 a.m.; Dallas Fire-Rescue took the critically injured young man to a hospital where he died a short time later. Investigators opened the matter under DPD case number 087471-2025 and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Early accounts describe an altercation on Main Street before gunfire. Surveillance video reviewed by detectives reportedly shows a fight involving roughly five or six people that spilled into the street prior to the shooting. The victim was publicly identified as David Stribling; an obituary gives his full name as David Gregory Stribling Jr., born in 2006, with funeral services announced for late June and mid-July.

As of late June 2025 no arrest had been announced and detectives continued to seek tips, providing a contact for those with information. Did anyone in Deep Ellum that morning see the altercation or the people involved?
