Three people were discovered to be fatally shot in Dallas after police found an abandoned vehicle and then traced it to a nearby home early Tuesday, officials said.
Police were initially called to the incident around 11:45 p.m. when a shooting was reported in the 7700 block of Harry Hines Boulevard, near Grauwlyer Park in Northwest Dallas, according to a police news release. Officers arrived and found an abandoned vehicle and learned that a shooting victim from the vehicle was taken to a hospital, where he died.
About a half-hour later, officers traced the registration on the abandoned vehicle to a home in the 2300 block of Gilford Street, a couple blocks away from where the vehicle was found. When officers went to the home, they found two people dead from gunshot wounds, the release said.
Police determined that the two incidents -- the victim who was fatally shot in the abandoned car and the two victims fatally shot at the home on Gilford Street -- appeared to be related.
"This was not a random shooting and appeared to be criminal activity," the release said.
No arrests have been made, and the victims' names have not been released.
More information about the shooting was not yet available.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact police detective Christopher Walton at 214-701-8453 or by email at christopher.walton@dallaspolice.gov.
