David Washington was 17 and a senior at Justin F. Kimball High School when he was fatally shot on the evening of September 6, 2024. The shooting took place about 10:50 p.m. at a Love’s gas station on Polk Street, directly across from John Kincaide Stadium in Dallas, after a football game between Duncanville and South Oak Cliff. A large crowd had gathered; a group began following Washington, a physical altercation occurred, and an unknown person fired the fatal shot. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

A 16-year-old was arrested on September 7, 2024, and charged with murder; authorities have not identified the juvenile. Washington was described as a well-regarded student and athlete who hoped to play college football. The community has held memorials and Dallas ISD has provided extra mental health support. The investigation is active; anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Ronald Kramer at the Dallas Police Department.

If anyone knew David, was at the game, or has information about what happened at the gas station, please come forward to the investigators.
