Deadly Home Invasion in Dallas' Lake Highlands Area

Dallas police are investigating a deadly shooting Monday afternoon in the Lake Highlands area.

Police officers were called at about 3:30 p.m. to an apartment in the 9600 block of Ferris Branch Boulevard.[[414288923,R]]

There, they found a woman in the parking lot with a gunshot wound to her leg who directed the officers to an apartment, where a man had been fatally shot.

The victim was identified Monday evening as 39-year-old Jason Ali Edwards.

The woman was transported to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas in good condition.

"I just saw her bleeding with [a] gunshot, you know, so somebody was screaming, somebody got shot, something like that," said neighbor Fields Obas. "So I called [the] police."

Police say witnesses told them a silver four-door vehicle left the apartment complex soon after the shooting.

Anyone with information that could help police is asked to call detectives.
