NARRATIVE:
On 11/19/2022, an unidentified 16-year-old boy was killed when the Chevrolet Tahoe in which he was riding crashed during a Garland Police Department pursuit that began in Garland and continued into Dallas. Five people were inside the Tahoe.
.
Garland police had been investigating a group connected to burglaries in Mesquite, Arlington, Pantego, Grand Prairie, Hutchins, Dallas, Duncanville, Garland and other North Texas communities. Police said people connected to the burglaries had been recorded carrying rifles and other firearms, and a firearm had been discharged during at least one of the burglaries.
.
Shortly after 10:00 p.m., Garland officers recognized the white Tahoe associated with the investigation and attempted to stop it near Kingsley Road. The driver continued away, and Garland police pursued the vehicle toward Dallas. A Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter also tracked the Tahoe during the pursuit.
.
In the 12200 block of Greenville Avenue in Dallas's Lake Highlands area, the driver lost control, overcorrected and caused the Tahoe to overturn. Three occupants were ejected. Two occupants who suffered relatively minor injuries ran from the crash but were arrested shortly afterward. Three other occupants were transported to hospitals, where the 16-year-old passenger died.
.
Police recovered five loaded firearms from the wrecked Tahoe: three AR-15-style pistols and two handguns. Garland police said the weapons were believed to have been stolen during or used in offenses under investigation. The teenager killed was deliberately not publicly identified by Garland police.
