Murder 249 occurred Wednesday night around 11:45 p.m. at the Super 7 Motel on Independence Drive near Camp Wisdom Road and I-20 in far Southern Dallas.
Police said Christopher Miles, 37, was stabbed to death by a 50-year old suspect who was arrested and charged with murder.
Murder 248 happened around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday at an apartment complex on Ridgecrest Road in the 5 Points area of Northwest Dallas.
A man with no identification was found with multiple gunshot wounds. He died later at the hospital. The medical examiner was working Thursday to locate the man’s relatives.
Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata, also a Northwest Division Patrol Sergeant, said he understands that residents expected crime reduction this year.
It just was a few men together on a recent cool morning, most with a good bit of gray in their hair standing in front of a few cameras talking about the community they have ministered to collectively for more than a century and closer to two.
At times, it was hard to hear them. Their voices were soft. They had no megaphones. There were no crowds chanting back their expressions.
But what they had to say should be heard and remembered the next time some claim to speak for an entire community and say that the police generally are the problem and must be defunded, replaced or disempowered.
