A man accused of stealing a car was shot and killed by the car's owner Tuesday, police say.
Dallas Police said officers were called to a shooting on the 3200 block of North Fitzhugh Avenue at about 2:15 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found Mohammad Ali Abdulrahman, injured in the parking lot, who was then transported to an area hospital where he died.
After talking with witnesses, police said Chalmer Mouton, whose car had been stolen earlier in the day, tracked the vehicle to the parking lot where he confronted the suspected thief.
