A 25-year-old man faces a capital murder of multiple persons charge for his alleged role in two women’s shooting deaths in Old East Dallas.
Saadiq Shabazz was booked Saturday night into the Dallas County jail and is being held on a $3 million bond, records show. It was unclear whether he had an attorney.
Officers responded about 3 a.m. Saturday to the 2400 block of North Washington Avenue, near Lemmon Avenue, and found three gunshot victims, police said at the time.
Jalisa Lockett, 22, and Amaya Lockett, 24, died at the scene while a man was taken to a hospital and listed in stable condition, police said.
Shabazz was arrested later that day but details, such as what led police to identify him as a suspect, were not immediately clear.
This investigation is ongoing.
