A tragic street racing incident in South Dallas on Mother’s Day resulted in the death of an innocent man, Jose Medina, who was simply driving home from work. The Dallas Police Vehicular Crimes Unit has released video footage and is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of a woman involved in the crash. Authorities urge anyone who recognizes the suspect or has any information to come forward.
The Fatal Collision on Second Avenue
The crash occurred on the evening of May 11th, around 7:40 PM, on the 5000 block of Second Avenue at Garden Lane in South Dallas. According to Detective Sammy Shaw of the Dallas Police Vehicular Crimes Unit, Jose Medina was driving his Nissan Frontier heading home from his job when the accident happened.
Two vehicles, a Ford Fusion and a black 2006 Cadillac, were reportedly racing on the street. The Ford Fusion, driven by Khadijah Jackson, veered into the southbound lanes during the race, leading to the fatal collision with Medina’s vehicle. The crash caused Medina’s death, shaking the community deeply.
Arrest and Charges Filed
Khadijah Jackson, the driver of the Ford Fusion, has been arrested and is currently in jail. She faces six felony charges related to the deadly crash. The black Cadillac involved in the street race fled the scene immediately after the collision. Police confirmed that all occupants of the Cadillac exited the vehicle and fled back toward the crash site, apparently to seek help.
Police Appeal for Community Help
Detective Shaw expressed that members of the community know who was driving the black Cadillac. He appealed directly to the neighborhood residents, stating that those aware of the suspect’s whereabouts should reach out to authorities. He emphasized the importance of helping solve the crime that claimed the life of an innocent man on what should have been a peaceful Mother’s Day evening.
Detective Shaw provided his contact information, encouraging anyone with information to call, text, or email him. The vehicle involved in the crash—a black Cadillac CTS with visible damage to the left rear—has been spotted either in a body shop or possibly hidden in someone’s garage within the neighborhood.
The Devastating Impact on the Community
The tragic event highlights the dangers and devastating consequences of illegal street racing, particularly when innocent bystanders become victims. Two women racing on a public street caused a loss that no family should endure. The community is left grappling with grief and a pressing need for justice.
Local law enforcement continues to work diligently, seeking information to hold all responsible parties accountable. The reward being offered reflects the seriousness with which the police regard this case and their commitment to solving it.
Conclusion
This deadly crash serves as a grim reminder of the risks posed by street racing in residential areas. The Dallas Police Department urges the public to come forward with any information that could lead to the arrest of the unidentified woman who fled the scene. In the meantime, the community mourns Jose Medina, an innocent man whose life was cut short by reckless behavior on a day meant to celebrate family and love. The call for justice is strong, and police remain hopeful that with community assistance, this tragic case will be resolved soon.
