Man shot, killed while trying to steal car following traffic accident in Garland, police say
Garland police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred Sunday afternoon after a man crashed into two vehicles before allegedly trying to steal multiple other cars, according to a statement. Officers initially responded to reports of a traffic accident near Highway 66 and Dairy Road about 3:30 p.m. Once there, investigators learned a green car had struck two other vehicles before the male driver left and went to a nearby gas station. Witnesses saw the man unsuccessfully attempt to carjack other vehicles at a nearby gas station, police said. Police said the unidentified man then crossed Dairy Road on foot and attempted to take a white Chevrolet Impala from its driver before the two got into a fight. The Impala was occupied by the driver, several children and two women, police said. During the fight, the Impala's driver shot the man. He was transported to a hospital where he later died, according to the statement. Police said no one else was injured during the altercation. Officials said the Impala's driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. As of Sunday night, no charges have been filed.
