Two teenage girls, aged 16 and 15, have been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting near Victory Park in Dallas early Sunday morning.
Dallas Police Department officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 2500 block of N. Houston Street on July 14. Upon arrival, they discovered 18-year-old Jake Reynosa lying in the street with gunshot wounds. Reynosa was transported to a local hospital by Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedics but succumbed to his injuries.
Homicide investigators determined that Reynosa was shot during an encounter with multiple individuals.
Police located the teenage suspects and attempted to pull them over during a traffic stop. However, both girls fled the car and the scene on foot. Authorities apprehended the 15-year-old girl shortly thereafter. The 16-year-old was arrested the following day, July 15. Both teens are facing charges of capital murder in connection with Reynosa’s death.
Due to their ages, the names of the suspects have not been released.
Friends and family of Reynosa have launched a GoFundMe campaign to provide support for his family during this difficult time.
