Dallas police have arrested Ian Hollingsworth, 34, in connection with a shooting that occurred at a FedEx facility on Adler Drive. The incident took place on Monday morning at approximately 10:30 a.m. Hollingsworth is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The victim, Reginald Miles, was shot with his own gun and is currently in stable condition at Methodist Dallas Medical Center.

What happened

The altercation began when Hollingsworth blocked Miles’ vehicle with his own pickup truck while Miles was backing into a parking spot. Hollingsworth exited his truck and attacked Miles’ vehicle with a hammer, smashing the driver’s side window. During the confrontation, Hollingsworth struck Miles multiple times with the hammer.

In the course of the struggle, Miles retrieved a .32 revolver from his center console, but as he attempted to exit the car, Hollingsworth struck his hand, causing Miles to drop the gun. Hollingsworth picked up the dropped weapon and shot Miles three times — twice in the shoulder and once in the chest — before fleeing the scene.

Evidence and witness accounts

The assault was witnessed by a co-worker who heard gunshots, and the attack was captured on video by another employee. After the shooting, Hollingsworth sent a text message to a colleague admitting to the crime, stating that he was not sorry for what he did but was sorry the colleague had been put in that position. Upon his arrest, police discovered a hammer and the revolver inside Hollingsworth’s truck.

Charges and legal status
