Dallas police release note they believe was left behind by suspect in fatal 2021 shooting

Dallas police released Wednesday a photo of a note they believe was left behind by a suspect in a 2021 fatal shooting in Rylie.

The cryptic note, written in Spanish, roughly translates to: ”Young men with ‘the liras’ do not play.” Police did not share any additional information about the note or a potential suspect.

In March 2021, Jason Izaguirre, 20, was found shot in the backyard of his home a little after 1 a.m. at the 1500 block of Elk Creek Road, police said. Authorities pronounced him dead at the scene.

Izaguirre and a witness had just arrived home when an “unknown suspect” approached them and began shooting, striking Izaguirre, police said. The suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction.

An investigation determined that the note was left on the back of a vehicle parked in the driveway after the shooting, police said.

Police also shared video of Izaguirre and his relative driving to the home before the shooting.

No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting, and police are continuing to investigate.

Anyone with information about the case may call Det. Christopher Walton at christopher.walton@dallascityhall.com or at 214-701-8453 and refer to case No. 036103-2021.
