OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/29/2021, shortly before noon, 26-year-old Lyft driver Isabella Lewis was found shot on Forest Gate Drive in Garland. Garland Police alleged that 32-year-old Imran Ali Rasheed had hired Lewis for a ride, shot and killed her and then took her vehicle. Lewis died at the scene. Her vehicle was subsequently found outside Plano Police Department headquarters at 909 14th Street.
Later that day, Plano Police received a report of a man behaving erratically outside police headquarters. Police alleged that Rasheed, who was wearing a black shirt and mask, entered the department's public lobby, left, and then returned carrying a handgun.
According to Plano Police, a civilian department employee was assisting a visitor inside the lobby when Rasheed allegedly raised the handgun and fired in their direction. The employee and visitor escaped into a secure room. Neither was struck. Two Plano police officers inside the building responded to the gunfire.
Police alleged that Rasheed exchanged gunfire with the responding officers. The two officers fired at Rasheed, striking him multiple times. Plano Fire-Rescue transported Rasheed to a hospital, where he subsequently died from the police gunshot wounds.
The investigation subsequently connected Rasheed to Lewis's killing after investigators determined that the vehicle outside Plano Police headquarters belonged to her. Garland Police, Plano Police and the FBI worked jointly to investigate the sequence of events.
The FBI also opened a terrorism investigation after investigators recovered a note that authorities said suggested Rasheed might have been inspired by a foreign terrorist organization. Federal investigators stated that they had no evidence that Rasheed was acting under the direction of, or had been in contact with, a specific terrorist organization. Rasheed had previously been investigated by federal authorities between approximately 2010 and 2013, but that earlier investigation was closed after authorities concluded at the time that he did not pose a threat.
Rasheed's family, through attorney Edwin King, said they were blindsided by what happened and had observed no warning signs that he would commit violence. King said Rasheed had multiple sclerosis, had recently lost his job and might have been experiencing depression.
