Second Dallas shootout victim dies in fight over 'disrespect'
DALLAS - A second person has died after a fight over ‘disrespect’ turned into a deadly shootout.
23-year-old Jacory Simpson died on Tuesday after he was shot outside a shopping center at Dallas' Red Bird intersection last week.
20-year-old Cameron Cooks told police Simpson disrespected him while Cooks and his girlfriend went to eat at a restaurant on Westmoreland Road Friday.
"Nobody talks to me that way. He ain’t my daddy," Cooks said, according to an arrest affidavit.
Cooks responded by shooting Simpson several times.
