Zemeid Cox, a 27-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in a downtown Dallas parking lot outside the Hyde & Seek Lounge on the 2000 block of Commerce Street on November 24, 2025. Officers were already on scene after an earlier disturbance at the club when gunfire erupted shortly after 2 a.m. Police say a man later identified as 31-year-old Kedric McDonald drew a handgun around 2:01 a.m. and fired multiple rounds into a vehicle where Cox was seated in the driver’s seat. Three other men nearby were struck and later taken to hospitals with non–life-threatening injuries.

Body-camera and surveillance footage released days later show McDonald moving through the crowded lot with a handgun and, according to police, pointing the weapon at officers after earlier shots. Two officers, identified by the department as Charles Boyd and Hugo Oquedo, fired their duty weapons and struck McDonald. Both McDonald and Cox were pronounced dead at the scene; no officers were injured. Police have characterized McDonald as the gunman and say no arrests have been made in Cox’s killing. The incident is under active investigation, including reviews by the department and the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.

Does anyone in the Dallas area have information about Cox’s movements that night or witnessed the confrontation in the parking lot?
