On January 30, 2024, 15-year-old Moises Huerta Gonzalez was shot at a residence in the 2500 block of Southland Street in South Dallas, about half a mile from Lincoln High School. Dallas police arrived around 10:45 a.m. and found Gonzalez with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators say a 16-year-old male suspect was involved. Witnesses reported a group of roughly 15 young people fleeing the house, and one person was seen holding what appeared to be a white gun. The incident escalated into gunfire; the suspect suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg and was taken into custody and treated at a hospital. Gonzalez’s mother, Sarah Huerta, has spoken publicly about her loss and called her son her golden child.

If anyone knew Moises, saw activity near Southland Street that morning, or has information about the incident, please share what is known with Dallas police.
