Dallas police are actively searching for 37-year-old Isidoro Melo-Munoz, who remains at large following an officer-involved shooting on Friday, August 7, 2026. The incident occurred in northeast Dallas at an apartment complex located at 8550 Park Lane. According to Dallas Police Assistant Chief Terrence Rhodes, officers responded to the scene around 7 a.m. after receiving reports of a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers discovered Melo-Munoz on top of a woman, holding her at knife point. Police ordered the suspect to drop the weapon; when he refused, officers opened fire. Melo-Munoz subsequently fled the scene, and it remains unclear whether he sustained injuries. As of 3 p.m. on the day of the incident, the suspect had not been located. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds. Police released a photograph showing Melo-Munoz wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, dark jeans, and white Nike sneakers. Authorities have urged the public to call 911 immediately if they see him. This event marks the third officer-involved shooting in Dallas in less than 24 hours, though officials emphasize that the incidents are unrelated. Police stated that the public is not in danger and that the stabbing was an isolated incident. The Dallas Police Department deployed drones, helicopters, and K-9 units to assist in the manhunt near the Sunchase Park apartment complex. Investigators have cordoned off the area with yellow caution tape. Meanwhile, the Dallas Police Association has highlighted the strain on officers, citing staffing shortages and ongoing contract negotiations with the city.
