On the night of April 16, 2023, at about 10:45 p.m., Dallas police found 31-year-old Darwin Givans inside his vehicle in the 11000 block of Amanda Lane in the Highland Meadows area of northeast Dallas. Givans had suffered gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene after Dallas Fire-Rescue responded.

Investigators say two Black male suspects approached Givans’ vehicle and fired multiple shots while he was seated inside. The shooters then fled in a newer model black sedan with stock rims, dark tinted windows, and a Texas license plate; a third person is believed to have driven the getaway car. No arrests have been announced. Detective Timothy Johnston is leading the investigation and can be contacted at 214-671-3584; Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $5,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest and indictment.

Funeral services for Givans were held in Texarkana with visitation on April 28, 2023, at Jones Stuart Mortuary and a service on April 29, 2023, at Greater Heights Ministries, where Elder Derrick Huggins delivered the eulogy. If anyone has information that could help identify the shooters or the getaway vehicle, please contact Detective Johnston or Crime Stoppers.
