Dallas Texas October 1 2023 A late-night shooting involving a security guard and a man he was escorting off a property has led to an arrest.
The incident occurred in the early hours of October 1, 2023, on the 11000 block of Harry Hines Blvd, according to Dallas Police.
The preliminary investigation revealed that 26-year-old David Thomas, a uniformed security guard, was in the process of escorting 32-year-old Marqurius Lambert off the premises.
