Dallas Police Chief’s Son Shot Dead After He Kills Cop
The 27-year-old son of the new Dallas Police Chief was gunned down by officers after he shot and killed one of their own.
The tragic scene unfolded around 6pm yesterday evening at the River Bend apartments in Southern Dallas county after residents called the police to report gun fire.
According to the Dallas News, David O’Neal Brown Jr., the son of Dallas Police Chief David Brown, was in an agitated state when he wandered from his apartment into the parking lot of the complex carrying a handgun and wearing just boxers and sunglasses.
Residents say Brown Jr. approached the driver’s side door of a car that had just pulled into the parking lot. The driver of the vehicle was 23-year-old Jeremy Jontae McMillian, who was on his way to a Father’s Day dinner with his wife and their two small children.
Apparently, without provocation, Brown fired twice into the car hitting McMillian in the head, and barely missing the other occupants of the car. McMillian was a family man with two jobs and no criminal history. It isn’t clear whether he knew Brown.
After shooting McMillian, Brown stalked back and forth between his apartment and a Dodge Stratus parked in the lot. He eventually removed a shotgun from the trunk of the Stratus and climbed behind the wheel as police sirens wailed in the distance.
The first officer on the scene was Craig Shaw, 37, a father of two and a 5 year veteran of the Dallas police force. Shaw attempted to stop the Stratus when residents screamed that the shooter was getting away.
Brown got out of the vehicle and fired several rounds at Shaw’s patrol unit. Shaw returned fire as Brown got back into the car and kept shooting through the window. Shaw was hit in the head and later died en route to the hospital.
Other officers responding to the scene shot Brown multiple times killing him.
“I just heard lots of quick shots – you know, like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, you know – that’s all I heard,” said River Bend apartments resident Pat Miles. “I jumped down on the floor.”
According to The Dallas Morning News, Brown Jr. was arrested in 2003 on suspicion of selling marijuana and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. In an interview with the paper earlier this year, Chief Brown said his son was making progress and that he was proud of him.
“I’m much more impressed when you make mistakes, how you respond to it,” Brown said. “It speaks to the kind of man he is. He continued his education. He’s gainfully employed in spite of some of the mistakes that he’s made.” [link]

This is too sad but something tells me he was on some kind of drug when he did this… praying for the families though smdh
:prayer: for both families involved.
That is terrible. The families of all involved are in my prayers. It sounds like this young man was either on drugs or mentally disturbed.
Prayers go out to all the victims in this event!
Sad turn of events. My prayers go to both families.
Pray for the families is all I can say… We are in the last and evil days…
OH my.
He must have been some kind of disturbed. There is more to this.
RIP to those fathers. Just wow.
Oh my goodness! This is unbelievable. Two decent good men, killed behind some BS and the killer is the chief of police’s son. Unreal! SMDH!
My prayers are with all the families. I’m sure this is hard on the cop’s family as well.
There has to be more to this story. It’s scary when you think about how precious each day really is. You never know when you’re time is up. 
“When was the last time that they heard you say mother or father I love you. When was the last time that they heard you best friend or darling I love you…. These three words sweet and simple. These three words short and kind.”
Don’t forget to tell those you love that you love them. Tomorrow is promised to no one.
*your
Wow sadness all around and on Fathers Day too? Why would he do something like that? Just crazy.
This P-O-S Son of the Dallas Police Chief should already be in JAIL behind some SHYT His father got him out of using HIS Influence-n-Position… I’ll BET serious money this Clown-AZZ FOOL wasn’t SUPPOSE to be on the streets free !!!
This guy was wandering through the parking lot in his boxers with a handgun and sunglasses? Makes me think something wasn’t right with this young man mentally or he was on some sort of drug. Either way, this is a horrible story all around. Praying for all families involved….
its hard for me to even comment on this…
tragic..
Wow, this is sad. My
go out to all families effected by this. I also think either drugs were involved, or he had some sort of mental illness.
This is all the way around bogus. All I see are another 3 Black men gone.
And two of the three had it on the ball, things going for themselves, and one knuckleheaded looser takes them out and more than likely behind him being depressed about being a looser.
It’s high time people accept the fact that they are loosers and azz holes because of the CHOICES they’ve made, no one else is responsible for you being a looser.
I have no sympathy towards these cowards too lazy to get out like this one Brother was doing and work two or even three jobs to support your own. What another in a long line of tragic messes…
this is very sad i heard about in the news we need to pray for all three of the families this man killed a man that was in the car with his wife and two kids he really had mental problems such a sad story and now three men are gone
good morning sr fam
Wow, what a tragic event. Really said.
for those involved.
My GOD…please…do something…I have a 9 year old son and Lord knows I worry daily about him and what this world will be like when he’s old enough to face it alone…the thought of it brings tears to my eyes…how did we get so far gone…GOD find a way to bring the entire nation closer to you…that’s the only way we’ll make it at the rate we’re going!
DAMN
This is very sad, praying for all families involved
