Here are the top five stories today in Irving:
- An individual was killed in an Oak Cliff apartment complex shooting on March 26, police say. When emergency personnel arrived at the scene, they discovered Cameron Dukes, 19, injured in the parking lot. He died later at a local hospital. Witnesses say suspects are possibly two males in their late teens or early 20s, and police are on the lookout for 2018 dark colored Nissan Altima that the suspects seem to have stolen from the scene. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
- Another shooting occurred on Friday, March 25, this time in an Arlington park. Police responded to Craven’s Park after hearing gunshots while at a local police station. Police say the victim was a 24-year-old male who is listed in serious condition at a local hospital. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
- In happier news, ten Dallas County students received full four-year tuition scholarships from SMU. Ephraim Sun and Jorge Vazquez, both seniors at Dallas ISD’s Townview Science and Engineering School, were identified as two of the recipients.
