Police are investigating a triple homicide that took place in Dallas on Monday night.
According to the Dallas Police Department, officers responded to a shooting call in the 7700 block of Harry Hines Boulevard at approximately 11:45 p.m.
Police said when officers arrived, they found a vehicle abandoned at the location.
Officers were able to determine that the victim from the vehicle was transported to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries, police said.
According to police, officers checked the registration of the vehicle, and it came back to a residence in the 2300 block of Gilford Street.
Police said when officers arrived at the Gilford Street location shortly after midnight, they found two individuals dead from gunshot wounds inside the residence.
During the course of the investigation, officers determined that these two incidents appear to be related, police said.
According to police, this was not a random shooting and appeared to be linked to criminal activity.
The gunshots rocked neighbor Salvador Garcia awake.
“It was horrible,” said Garcia. “I fear for my kids.”
The father of twin newborns instinctively covered his babies and wife with his body unaware of where the shooting was coming from.
Police said there is no suspect in custody at this time, and the victims have yet to be identified.
“This was not a random shooting,” said DPD spokesperson Kristin Lowman. “We just wanted to assure the public that there is no apparent danger.”
