Dallas police released a video Wednesday of a 24-year-old suspect who is wanted in the shooting death of a man in northwest Dallas in early April.
Police continue to ask the public’s help to find Jaedon Stallworth, who is wanted on a murder warrant in connection with the shooting death of 31-year-old Javoski Dawson.
In the video, a man police say is Stallworth is seen wearing a pink shirt and shorts. Footage shows him walking inside an apartment complex following a woman and another man. After the man and woman move to the end of a hallway and open a door, Stallworth comes up behind them, appears to grab a gun from his waistband and shoots the man before running away.
Police describe Stallworth as being 5-11 and 165 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
Officers responded to the shooting about 12:15 a.m. April 11 in the 2400 block of Southwell Road, near Interstate 35E and found a gunshot victim on the floor of a breezeway, police said. Dawson, the victim, was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Police said Wednesday an investigation determined the same night Stallworth was involved in a fight with a woman at the scene. Dawson saw the argument, and Stallworth and the woman drove away from the apartments, per police.
Later, the woman walked back to the complex, and Dawson offered her a phone to call 911. Stallworth returned to the complex, police say, and started arguing again with the woman he allegedly shot Dawson and left the scene.
Court records show Stallworth pleaded guilty to second-degree felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. In that case, an arrest-warrant affidavit from 2016 said Stallworth was involved in an altercation between two groups of people in Mesquite. He was a high school student at the time.
Anyone with information on the shooting and Stallworth’s whereabouts is asked to call Detective Abel Lopez at 469-843-3665 or abel.lopez@dallaspolice.gov.
