Leonette Deshee Thompson, 58, was shot dead inside her home in the 5600 block of Pickfair Circle near Dallas’ Medical District in the early morning hours of July 3, 2023. Police say a gold-colored SUV, possibly a four-door, was seen on surveillance footage driving down nearby Riverside Drive, circling the area, stopping in front of Thompson’s residence and firing multiple shots into the home. One bullet struck Thompson as she slept; she got up and ran into her boyfriend’s bedroom before collapsing and was later pronounced dead at the scene.

As of December 2024, no arrests had been made. Detective Abel Lopez is handling the investigation and Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Friends and family recall Thompson as a lively, well-regarded airport employee whose death has left a deep void.

If anyone has information about the gold SUV or the people involved, please come forward to assist the investigation.
