On June 20, 2024, at about 11:05 p.m., Muhammad Hussain, 60, a Carrollton resident working as a clerk at Jaxx Fuel, 1701 W. Bruton Road in Mesquite, was shot and killed while on duty. Surveillance video shows a male suspect in a dark hoodie and a red bandana approach the register and open fire without any verbal interaction, striking Hussain multiple times in the upper torso. The shooter then took a handful of scratch-off lottery tickets and fled.

Two days later the same suspect allegedly carried out a similar attack at a Fox Gas Station in Dallas, killing 32-year-old clerk Gopi Krishna Dasari. Officers soon located a vehicle matching the surveillance description; the suspect led them on a brief pursuit before being taken into custody. He was found with a .380-caliber pistol and clothing consistent with the videos and later confessed to both shootings, saying he feared Hussain would alert police and that he targeted Dasari because that store had no lottery tickets. He has been charged with two counts of capital murder and evading arrest and is held in Dallas County Jail with bonds totaling $7.5 million.

Did anyone see suspicious activity near either gas station the night of the shootings or recognize the clothing seen on the surveillance footage?
