A night out in Dallas’ Uptown turned fatal on May 3, 2026, when 35-year-old Jeronimo Avila was shot in a business parking lot in the 2700 block of McKinney Avenue and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Loved ones described Avila as an amazing son, brother, father, friend, and a talented fashion designer and artist.

An affidavit states the altercation escalated into a physical struggle in which Avila was on top of another man and punching him when that man produced a gun and fired a single shot into Avila’s chest; the shooter then fled in a vehicle belonging to his girlfriend. Surveillance footage led investigators to a license plate, and on the evening of May 8, 2026, police arrested 30-year-old Darius Washington and charged him with murder.

Did anyone in Uptown that night see the events in the parking lot or the vehicle that left the scene?
