Jose Rodriguez-Lucio, 32, was shot just after midnight on June 15, 2025, in Deep Ellum. Responding officers found him unresponsive in an alley off the 200 block of South Hall Street; Dallas Fire-Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene. Police opened a homicide investigation under case number 084934-2025 and said the case would be referred to a grand jury.

Detectives worked the alleyway, canvassing for witnesses and surveillance footage to clarify what happened around 12:25–12:30 a.m. Initial reports placed the fatal encounter in or beside a pickup truck, and nearby businesses locked down as patrons took cover when gunfire rang out. Authorities publicly identified Rodriguez-Lucio and appealed for tips; as of the most recent local reporting no arrest had been announced and detectives continued reviewing evidence.

If anybody in Deep Ellum that night saw activity around South Hall Street, surveillance footage from bars or galleries, or other details that could help reconstruct the shooting, please contact the assigned detective with information.
