In the early morning hours of June 15, 2025, at about 12:25 am, Dallas Police responded to a shooting in the 200 block of South Hall Street in Deep Ellum. The preliminary investigation determined that 32-year-old Jose Rodriguez-Lucio was fatally shot at the scene.
According to investigators, a man and a woman were inside a truck looking for a parking spot when the incident unfolded. The man exited the vehicle to speak with friends nearby, leaving the woman inside. Rodriguez-Lucio then approached on foot and entered the truck in an attempt to steal it.
The woman exited the truck as her companion quickly returned to the vehicle. Armed with a handgun, he opened fire on Rodriguez-Lucio, killing him.
Dallas Fire-Rescue responded, but Rodriguez-Lucio was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives are currently reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses. The investigation is ongoing under case number 084934-2025 and will be presented to a Grand Jury for review.
