DALLAS, Texas — A 19-year-old documented gang member and local social media personality has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery involving four victims, according to the Dallas Police Department.
Police say Marsavion McCollister robbed four people at gunpoint on January 21, 2026, in the 6000 block of Abrams Road. Detectives determined McCollister arranged to meet the victims at an apartment complex under the pretense of taking photos with him. During the meeting, investigators say McCollister produced a firearm and stole the victims’ belongings.
The Dallas Police Department’s Gang Unit launched an investigation and began efforts to locate the suspect. On February 19, detectives located McCollister in the 8500 block of East R. L. Thornton Freeway and requested assistance from the Dallas SWAT team to conduct a callout and arrest.
During the operation, officers recovered two firearms, including one without a serial number, approximately 0.9 grams of cocaine, two cell phones, and a digital scale from the location where McCollister was found.
McCollister, identified by police as the founder of the “Channel4” gang and a member of the “Best For Less” street gang, was arrested and charged with four counts of Aggravated Robbery, a first-degree felony.
“The arrest of this gang member for this violent offense is a great example of the investigation and follow through by our Gang Unit,” said Chief Daniel Comeaux. “Our Gang Unit detectives and enforcement officers work together to investigate offenses with a criminal gang nexus. This kind of behavior is not tolerated in Dallas, and we will continue to proactively target criminal gangs to keep everybody safe.”
