Dig deeper:
This is the third shooting that has happened on a DART train in recent months.
On Sept. 29, Irving bartender Daniel Gromley was shot and killed after an argument at the Marketplace Station off Harry Hines Boulevard. Christopher Akins was arrested and charged with murder in connection with that shooting.
Then on Oct. 5, a man died on a Blue Line train near the Pearl Station in the Dallas Arts District. An arrest warrant affidavit for 27-year-old Harrington Hurdle said he put on a Jason-style hockey mask and started firing a Draco-style AK-47 on the train.
DART police originally said that they believed there was an argument before the shots were fired. However, the affidavit didn’t offer any details about an argument or clues about a motive for the shooting.
