Police say one guy has taken part in three shootings on the southwest side, two of them deadly.
They released a composite sketch today. He is described by the cops as “a black male in his late teens to early 20s, 5 feet 7 inches tall, with an average build. He has long dreadlocks with blond ends.”
He is one of three men suspected in a string of recent shootings, which were likely part of robbery attempts. All three incidents involved multiple gunshots, so these guys don’t mess around.
The incidents happened on August 5, 8 and 9, both in the morning and at night.
— August 5 – 2424 Winrock – 7:34 a.m. The three entered an apartment and shot two people, who survived.
— August 8 – 7514 South Gessner – 9:05 p.m Killed Alex Dewayne Wallace, 29.
— August 9 – 10210 Forum West Drive – 9 a.m. Killed Cameron Dansby, 23.
Anyone with information in these cases or on the identities of the wanted suspects is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
