DALLAS (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ―
Two deadly shootings turned city streets and a busy Dallas highway into active crime scenes. The shootings started before 6 p.m. Monday in Garland and continued on LBJ Freeway in Dallas. Police believe one person is responsible for two other shootings, as well.
Police believe the balding white male they seek is in his 40s. He also is believed to be driving a tan, Ford F-150 with loud mufflers.
The first shooting occurred about 5:40 p.m. in Garland on Jupiter Road and Marquis. Police there said 20-year-old Jorge Lopez of Rowlett was shot and killed.
According to police, the shooter pulled up next to the Lopez's vehicle, fired several shots and drove away.
Minutes later, someone shot at a truck cab near LBJ at Jupiter. The driver was not injured.
The third shooting occurred a few miles west on LBJ at Plano Road. The driver of that 18 wheeler died. The west bound lanes of LBJ were shut down for hours as police investigated this deadly scene.
Another shooting involving an 18 wheeler was reported on LBJ near Forest Lane. The driver was not hit, but the windows on the 18 wheeler were shattered by the bullets. The driver was taken to Medical City Hospital in Dallas to be treated with non-life threatening injuries.
Investigators believe all four shootings are related since they occurred only a few miles apart and happened within minutes of each other.
