The Dallas Police usually blocks Deep Ellum streets during the summer to deal with increased traffic. This year, the barricades are going up even earlier as the city sees a spate of incidents turn violent.
Surveillance footage published by the Dallas Police Department shows several people firing weapons in Deep Ellum on April 10.Every summer, the Dallas Police Department closes down some streets in Deep Ellum to cope with the increased pedestrian traffic. But following recent shootings in the area and other parts of the city, DPD decided to start closing streets as early as this past weekend.
Longtime Deep Ellum business owner and musician John Jay Myers said he doesn’t have a negative opinion of the closures. “Every time they do it, the violence does seem to decrease,” Myers told the. “I am not a criminologist, so I can’t figure out why that is. My only guess would be that they have to run further to get to a getaway vehicle.”
Myers offered a couple possible solutions: “A ‘you have to be going somewhere’ rule and cover charges everywhere to keep out the kind of people that can only afford to cause trouble.” But he also admits, “I really don’t know the answer. Dallas police released a clear image of one man they suspected was involved in the shooting and announced on Monday they had arrested him. DaMichael Rose is facing charges for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
“While it's a good idea when presented by those for it, there is also the longstanding issue of people loitering and partying in the streets,” Brodsky said. “This seems to be a huge issue lately that has led to a lot of the violence we have been experiencing." “Closing at different times, different places and officers with different orders each weekend causes confusion and massive frustration,” Brodsky explained. “This time around they claim to have a set plan so if we have to take a small hit for a short amount of time in order to see results, I'm OK with that.”
