Dadrien Harrison, a 16-year-old junior at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas, Texas, was fatally shot on February 28, 2023. The shooting occurred around 5:40 p.m. in the 7300 block of Skillman Street, less than a mile from the school. Harrison was taken to a local hospital and later died of his wounds.

The Dallas Police Department opened an investigation and on March 4, 2023, arrested a 14-year-old juvenile in connection with the shooting; authorities did not release the juvenile’s name. The relationship between Harrison and the suspect and the motive remain unclear. Lake Highlands High School used metal detectors for the rest of that week and the Richardson Independent School District provided crisis counseling for students and staff.

The community held a vigil and balloon release and raised funds for Harrison’s family; the nonprofit No More Violence worked closely with the family. Harrison’s funeral service was held March 11, 2023, at New Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Did anyone in the Lake Highlands area see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened that evening?
