Dallas Police are investigating a triple homicide in East Oak Cliff.
This happened around 6:40 a.m. Saturday at a house located on the 5100 block of Wynell Street. The neighborhood is just south of the Dallas VA Medical Center.
Late Saturday, Dallas police identified the victims: 21-year-old Tyteanna Lyahanee Brown, 36-year-old Kimberly Montgomery and 37-year-old Demarcus Walton.
Neighbors woke up to the sound of multiple gunshots Saturday morning. When officers arrived, they found three people dead inside a white house.
"There is evidence at the location that the house is a probably point of sale for narcotics," said Major Jeff Cotner with the Dallas Police Department. Cotner said a fourth shooting victim sought help from a neighbor and was taken to Baylor Medical Center. That victim's condition was unknown at last check.
Later in the morning, three cars were towed away from the property where the shootings occurred.
"We have a black male that’s a suspect, I’m not going to release some of the information that we have developed because it’s important to our case, so we believe the individual should be known to the victims," said Cotner.
