When Dallas PD arrived at the scene, it was found that a private investigator attempted to take a suspect into custody for multiple warrants. The suspect was 29-year-old Kaland Spencer. Once the private investigator approached the suspect, Spencer tried to escape but stole a bystander's vehicle to drive away.

Spencer was shot by the investigator during the process.

Spencer was taken to a local hospital and arrested for his warrants. The warrants were an Assault on a Security Guard and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.

The investigation is ongoing. The Dallas County Grand Jury has been aware of the situation too.
