Dallas, Texas – A series of events stemming from an armed carjacking early Friday morning ended tragically, resulting in one juvenile suspect’s death, two others critically injured, and two Dallas police officers hurt. The incident unfolded around 2 a.m. on West Northwest Highway near Sheila Lane, northwest of Dallas Love Field airport.

The chaos began when three juvenile suspects allegedly stole a Ford Mustang at gunpoint in the 9800 block of Dale Crest Drive. Following the reported carjacking, Dallas police quickly located the stolen vehicle shortly thereafter in the 2700 block of W. Northwest Highway. A marked police vehicle was en route to assist with the situation when it was struck head-on by the suspect’s car.

The impact of the crash resulted in serious injuries. One juvenile suspect died shortly after being transported to the hospital. Meanwhile, the other two juvenile suspects are reported to be in critical condition. The names and ages of the suspects have not been disclosed due to their status as minors.

Witnesses in the area recounted their shock at the suddenness of the crash and the rapid response from police and emergency services. The intersection where the crash occurred was partially closed for a time as investigators worked to gather evidence, but it has since reopened.
