On December 14, 2023, at about 5:40 p.m., 31-year-old Michael Pierson was fatally shot inside a business at 2500 S. Belt Line Road in Dallas after an argument with an unknown male. The shooter ran north through the parking lot and fled the scene, and the Dallas Police Department opened an investigation to identify the suspect.

On December 18, 2023, U.S. Marshals arrested 25-year-old Kemone Rudd in Ripley, Tennessee, and he was charged with murder in connection with Pierson’s death; Rudd was being held in the Lauderdale County Jail pending extradition to Texas. Pierson’s mother, Shronda Pierson, described him as a positive person who took his role as the eldest brother seriously and noted he was a father to a 10-year-old son.

What can anyone who was in the area that evening or who knew Michael or his movements that day add to the timeline?
