Erick Artea Lerma, 28, was shot and killed inside a vehicle in Dallas on March 31, 2026. Police say officers responded about 7:30 p.m. to the 4400 block of the Dallas Fort Worth Service Turnpike, near an Oak Cliff shopping center, and found Lerma deceased of multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.

An arrest followed: 32-year-old Anthony Rios Rivera was taken into custody at his home and booked on a murder charge. According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Rivera had been searching for his wife, found her in a car with Lerma in the shopping center parking lot, allegedly rammed that vehicle and other parked cars, then walked up and fired about 13 rounds from a .40 caliber firearm into the driver’s side, striking Lerma multiple times. Rivera reportedly told investigators he thought he saw a gun, but no weapon was found in or around Lerma’s vehicle.

Are there witnesses or dash-cam footage from the shopping center that could clarify the sequence of the collision and shooting?
