A fatal shooting in Dallas ended the life of 48-year-old Michael Ellegde in the early hours of Saturday, February 21, 2026. The sequence began the night before, February 20, when multiple 911 callers reported a disturbance at a home in the 200 block of Freddie Street and said a woman feared for her life as her boyfriend, 19-year-old Isaac Amaya, was reportedly beating on doors and windows trying to gain entry. Officers responded, and Amaya allegedly jumped a fence and fled into the neighborhood.

Several hours later a witness said they saw Amaya hiding behind a vehicle and told him to leave. Shortly after midnight on February 21 the witness heard a commotion in the 120 block of Bridges Street and then saw Amaya confront Michael Ellegde; the witness reported seeing Amaya shoot Ellegde. Police found Ellegde with a gunshot wound and emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

The Dallas Police Department identified Isaac Amaya as the suspect; he was arrested, taken to the Dallas County Jail and charged with murder, held without bond in the days following the shooting. Detectives continue to seek information about what led to the confrontation that night. Did anyone in the area see either man on Bridges Street that night or have additional information about the events between Freddie Street and Bridges Street?
