Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson vowed Tuesday that the person responsible for this past weekend’s deadly shooting in rural southeast Oak Cliff will be caught and brought to justice.
“Situations like this past weekend are deeply upsetting to me.”One person was killed and 16 others were hurt when shots rang out around 11:30 p.m. Saturday at the Epic Easter Bike Out and Field Party.
Police Chief Eddie Garcia said Monday event organizers needed to obtain a special permit but didn’t. There were off-duty police officers providing security for the event, but now, effective immediately, the Chief isn’t allowing officers to do that unless the events obtain a permit.“He’s already made — I think — a smart policy change.
“That is going to get attention,” said Johnson. “But people need to understand that is not really reflective of the overall trend in violent crime in the city, which is down and down considerably. Just know we are on it, and we’re going to find this person and bring him to justice and we are not going to let up when it comes to reducing violent crime in this city.”
Johnson said Mexico and the North Texas region conduct $1.5 billion in trade each year and called Mexico a strong and balanced trading partner.
