A 23-year-old man was shot to death in Oak Cliff on Friday morning, and Dallas police still have not said who pulled the trigger or why. Officers were called to the 7300 block of Marvin D. Love at approximately 9:14 a.m. for an assist-officer call that turned into a homicide investigation once they found a man suffering from gunshot wounds.
A preliminary investigation determined that a male was found shot at the location, according to DPD Beat. Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the scene and pronounced the victim dead there: 23-year-old Elidrian Trovell Reed. Police have not detailed how he came to be shot or what led up to the gunfire.
