Suspect Grabbed Dallas ISD Officer’s Gun During Struggle, Shot Him in Leg, Affidavit Says

Jose Pantoja-Morales allegedly took Officer Justin Jones’ gun during a struggle and shot him in the leg before fleeing, police said.

  • On Monday, the Dallas Police Department announced it will release body camera and dashcam video from two officer-involved shootings that occurred in North Dallas last week.
  • A carjacking investigation on Thursday led officers to North Dallas, where a covert officer fired four rounds at suspect Renard McFadden during a felony traffic stop.
  • Responding to an apartment stabbing on Friday, officers encountered Isidoro Melo-Munoz at a Park Lane complex, where he was allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend, prompting an officer to fire their weapon.
  • Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux stated the department will not tolerate this level of violence, though he acknowledged the covert officer should have remained in his vehicle.
  • Investigators are pursuing additional evidence in both cases, while Melo-Munoz remains in custody following his surrender after a 24-hour manhunt, and McFadden faces charges including robbery and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
