A man is dead and another man is in the hospital following a shooting at an apartment complex in Pleasant Grove on Sunday.

Police reports show they were called about shots heard at an apartment building on McNeil Street near Military Parkway. On arrival at the scene, reports say they found two wounded men lying in the breezeway.


One man later identified as Elmer Carrera was already dead. The other was taken to a local hospital with non-lifethreatening wounds, his name and condition has not been released.

After piecing it together, detectives determined Carrera had charged the other man with a knife and a baton. He was shot and killed and somehow the unidentified man also wounded himself in the scuffle.

The Dallas County District Attorney will have to decide if the survivor is going to face charges.
