DALLAS — Three people were discovered to be fatally shot in Dallas after police found an abandoned vehicle and then traced it to a nearby home early Tuesday, officials said.
Police were initially called to the incident around 11:45 p.m. when a shooting was reported in the 7700 block of Harry Hines Boulevard, near Grauwlyer Park in Northwest Dallas, according to a police news release.
Officers arrived and found an abandoned vehicle and learned that a man who used the vehicle had been shot and was taken to a hospital, where he died. Police later identified him as 35-year-old Jesus Garcia.
About 30 minutes later, officers traced the registration on the abandoned vehicle to a home in the 2300 block of Gilford Street, a couple blocks away from where the vehicle was found. When officers went to the home, they found two people dead from gunshot wounds, the release said.
According to records from the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office, those two men were identified as 23-year-old Juan Pablo Sandoval Carreon and 29-year-old Cristian Ronald Rubio.
On Tuesday, police determined that the two incidents -- the victim who was fatally shot in the abandoned car and the two victims fatally shot at the home on Gilford Street -- appeared to be related.
"This was not a random shooting and appeared to be criminal activity," the release said.
On Wednesday, Dallas police shared an update saying the three men killed were shooting at each other inside the home on Gilford. Carreon and Rubo were allegedly shooting at Garcia while Garcia fired back.
Detectives do not believe other suspects are involved.
No other information is available at this time.
