One man dead, two in custody after shooting in Dallas Friday afternoon

A 19-year-old man is dead and two others are in custody after a shooting Friday afternoon in Dallas, according to police.

Officers were called to the 7400 block of South Westmoreland Road around 3:45 p.m. Saturday where they found Donavon Jones, 19, and Jacory Simpson, 23, shot inside a business, according to police. Both were taken to the hospital in critical condition where Jones died.

Police said Taquan Cook, 20, was arguing with Simpson outside the business when he shot and wounded Simpson. Simpson then tried to leave the area but ran into the building where he encountered Jones, who he shot and killed. Jones died Saturday in the hospital.

Simpson is still in the hospital and an arrest warrant has been issued for murder and unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to police. Cook is charged with assault causing serious bodily injury and was taken to the Dallas County Jail.

Another shooting on Saturday around 9 p.m. at the same location sent four people attending a vigil to the hospital, the Dallas Morning News reported. A passenger in a car driving by the vigil fired a gun out of a car, and attendees returned fire.

Police have not announced any arrests in the Saturday shooting.
