from Facebook.com

At around 5:10 p.m. Friday evening, Michael Scott, 34, was standing in the parking lot of Gold Star Convenience Store located in the 2800 block of Ledbetter, when an unknown assailant ran up and shot Mr. Scott multiple times in the upper torso. The victim was rushed to Baylor University Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.



May the prayers of peace and paradise be upon my classmate and childhood friend. Much LOVE to his family.



I recall our days as Oak Cliff Steelers at Arden Terrace Park, those were the good times when we didn't have a care in the world.



Much LOVE Brother Forever,

Dallas First 48 Watch : CM Dwaine Caraway's darling gambling spot caught up in murder investigation

Dallas First 48 Watch : CM Dwaine Caraway's darling gambling spot caught up in murder investigation: "






When I first heard an officer on the scanner ask for help at Estelle Village Apartments early Friday morning, I thought it was a normal call. After further investigations this call took us all the way back to the same Poker House that Councilman Dwaine Caraway proudly and boldly defended. Back to Estelle Village, a body was found in the trunk of a car, which was the 911 call I heard on the scanner that night. The man was identified as 38 year-old Alton Marshall, of Dallas.

On Thursday night, Mr. Marshall's wife called police after he hadn't returned home from a house located at 3116 S . Harwood, the same exact gambling house Councilmember Dwaine Caraway was previously in(not sure if he was there at this time). The police report stated that witness' stories from the house were all conflicting.

One woman came forward and claimed she saw two men approach him at approximately 4:15 a.m. as he approached his vehicle, with one flashing a gun and putting it to his head. One suspect stated, ' Nigga, don't make me kill you'. Mr. Marshall was forced into the drivers seat of his vehicle and the suspects also jumped in, leaving in an unknown direction. Which leads us back to his body later being found in his trunk in Estelle Village Apartments, also known as 'The Pinks'.





The Pinks are infamous for murders, gangs, drugs, prostitution, robberies, and other poverty driven activities. It is in an area of Dallas, which would have a direct impact from the Inland Port deal being pushed through. But of course certain individuals are under FBI investigations for hindering economic growth because of personal interests. My point being, this is normal behavior in this community because a lack of economic equality south of the Trinity. Mix that with gambling and this is your final recipe, even though I suspect this may turn out to be more than we could ever imagine. Stay tuned. We will keep you updated .



Less than two weeks ago Neiman Derrough was murdered in 'The Pinks'
