A 15-year-old Hispanic boy identified as Eddie Mejia (also reported as Erick Eduardo Mejia) was shot in West Dallas in the early morning hours of December 6, 2025. He arrived at Medical City Dallas Hospital on Forest Lane at about 5:08 a.m., having been taken there in a private vehicle; police say the shooting occurred near the 2500 block of Canada Drive, close to the Trinity Skyline Trail. Medical staff treated him for a week, but he died of his injuries and was pronounced dead on December 13, 2025.

The Dallas County Medical Examiner confirmed his identity and the Dallas Police Department reclassified the case from aggravated assault to homicide. As of late December, no suspects had been arrested and the shooter remained at large; Detective J. Morgan asked anyone with information to contact the Dallas Police Department.

Does anyone have information about Eddie, the shooting near Canada Drive, or who might be responsible?
