On the evening of April 25, 2023, 16-year-old Emmanuell Alexander was fatally shot in Dallas after a minor traffic incident on Santa Anna Avenue near Shiloh Road. A vehicle driven by Emmanuell’s party clipped side mirrors with an oncoming beige or tan SUV or truck; that vehicle allegedly turned around, approached, and someone fired multiple shots into Emmanuell’s car. The driver of Emmanuell’s vehicle then drove about eight miles to the 4600 block of East RL Thornton Freeway and flagged down Dallas Fire-Rescue. Emmanuell was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his injuries.

Emmanuell, born September 12, 2006, was described as a beloved son and brother who attended schools in Richardson ISD and later Dallas Can Academy. He was nicknamed Man Man and remembered for his infectious smile and caring nature. No arrests have been made; the suspect is unidentified and the Dallas Police Department is investigating. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Joshua Romero at [email protected] or 214-671-4226, and Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $5,000 reward.
