Dallas police: Suspect arrested in Koreatown salon shooting

May 17, 2022

DALLAS (AP) — A suspect has been arrested in connection with a shooting that wounded three women in a hair salon in the city’s Koreatown that authorities have said might have been a hate crime, police said early Tuesday.

The suspect was being interviewed and processed, the Dallas Police Department said, and Chief Eddie Garcia was expected to release additional information about the arrest later in the day.

Garcia said last week that last Wednesday’s shooting at Hair World Salon could be connected to two other shootings at businesses run by Asian Americans.

Authorities have said a man dressed all in black opened fire at the salon, then drove off in a maroon minivan. Garcia said investigators found that a similar vehicle was reported to be involved in two other recent shootings, including an April 2 drive-by in the area where the salon is located. No one was injured in either of those shootings.

1. Keeping identity under wraps for now. I think that's strange.

This isn’t typical at all.

3. Suggests to me that they're not entirely sure this guy they got ... is the guy.

Of course, paranoids on the right will claim it's a media conspiracy, cause the man they picked up is black, and 'mainstream media' only cares when the perp is white.

It is a conspiracy. Dressed in black, Maroon Minivan, = Antifa. See the connections.

4. Hey Chief, Who is this suspect?

Why you be hiding their identity?


Does he work for you at the Enforcers station, substation?


Who and Why are you providing cover of this terrorist?

[BlackSkimmer]

6. Local stations say they're still processing him.

Will announce more later. It’s a black male, so I don’t think that particular narrative fits.

7. Suspect is Jeremy Smith.
