Fredrick Lee Grant Jr., a 31-year-old Black man born November 14, 1991, was shot in Dallas and died of his wounds in mid-October 2023. On the morning of October 16, 2023, around 8:30 a.m., Dallas Police responded to a shooting in the 2300 block of Pine Street and found Grant outside a home with gunshot injuries. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died the next day, October 17, 2023, according to the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Police quickly identified a suspect and located 55-year-old Joseph Jackson, who was taken into custody and initially charged with Aggravated Assault. After Grant’s death the charge was upgraded to Murder; as of October 2023 Jackson remained in the Dallas County Jail.
