Dallas Police Arrest Suspect in New Year’s Shooting of Rapper Zeethewizard
Dallas, Texas – A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the New Year’s Day shooting that killed Dallas rapper Zeethewizard and injured four others. Dameian Roberson was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Task Force and faces a murder charge. As of Tuesday night, he remains in the Dallas County jail with no bail amount set, according to jail records. It remains unclear whether Roberson has an attorney.
Zec’Qurie Cannon Grant Fields, known professionally as Zeethewizard, was critically injured shortly before 4 a.m. on January 1 when gunfire erupted at Pink House Dallas, an after-hours club near Empire Central and North Stemmons Freeway. The club had celebrated its grand opening on New Year’s Eve. Fields died on January 5 at a hospital, according to Dallas police. Four others, who have not been publicly identified by authorities, were wounded. Police have not shared additional information, including potential motives for the shooting. Officials continue to actively investigate the incident.
The Impact of Zeethewizard on the Dallas Community

Details of the Shooting Incident
The tragic events unfolded in the parking lot of Pink House Dallas, where an altercation escalated into gunfire, resulting in the injury of five individuals.
