Dallas, Texas – An ongoing feud between three young men in Oak Cliff ended tragically in a shooting that left one person dead and another injured, according to Dallas police.
The incident took place on June 11 at around 10:40 p.m. in the 400 block of South Winnetka Avenue, disturbing the normally quiet neighborhood with a flurry of gunfire and speeding cars.
Stephano Osorio, 23, was found shot and killed at the scene, while a 16-year-old boy was also injured and taken to the hospital in stable condition.
The alleged shooter, Salvador Martinez, 20, has been arrested and is currently facing murder charges, being held on a $1 million bond.
Reports indicate that there had been an ongoing dispute between the victims and Martinez, leading to the tragic outcome.
Osorio’s family revealed that he had just celebrated his 23rd birthday the previous month and was a student of architecture at El Centro College.
Neighbors, including Darin Short, who was house-sitting for friends at the time of the shooting, were shocked by the violence that unfolded in their community.
Short mentioned hearing gunshots and expressed disbelief at the senseless use of firearms by young individuals.
The victim’s father disclosed that they had previously reported incidents to the police, but no action was taken due to lack of evidence.
As investigations continue and the community grapples with the aftermath of the shooting, calls for societal change and prevention of such tragedies have been echoed by concerned residents.
