A 43-year-old woman is in custody after turning herself in Tuesday night, July 1, following a fatal shooting at an Oak Cliff shopping center earlier that afternoon.
At approximately 3:50 p.m., Dallas Police responded to a shooting call in the 3600 block of West Camp Wisdom Road, at The Shops at Redbird. Officers arrived to find 53-year-old Jaime Rockett suffering from gunshot wounds. Dallas Fire-Rescue responded, but Rockett was pronounced dead at the scene.
The preliminary investigation identified 43-year-old Rashonda Lowe as the suspect. According to police, Lowe and Rockett knew each other prior to the incident. Rockett was the owner of Cookies N Smoothies, a business located at the shopping center.
Lowe later turned herself in to Arlington Police and was transferred to the custody of Dallas Police. She has been arrested and charged with Murder. Lowe is currently being held in the Dallas County Jail.
“As we await further information and the completion of the investigation, I want to extend my deepest condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones,” said Council Member Lorie Blair. “My heart and prayers are with them and with the entire District 8 community during this difficult time. I urge anyone with information to cooperate fully with law enforcement and trust in the professionalism of our police and public safety teams. I am in communication with the Dallas Police Department and remain committed to keeping the public informed as more details emerge.”
"Let me be clear: this singular act does not define the Red Bird area, nor does it derail the progress we've made. The growth happening in this corridor, through new businesses, healthcare access, and housing opportunities, is a testament to what’s possible when community and city leaders work together with purpose," said Council Member Zarin D. Gracey. "To our residents and partners, remain encouraged."
This ongoing investigation is documented under case number 093451-2025.
