DALLAS – A Dallas police officer was killed in an ambush shooting in Oak Cliff Thursday night. Two other officers were hurt. One is still critical.

Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia identified Darron Burks as the fallen officer. He also identified the suspect as 30-year-old Correy Cobb-Bey.

Two Dallas police senior corporals, Officer Jamie Farmer and Officer Karissa David, were taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center.

Farmer, who was shot in the leg, was released from the hospital on Friday.

David, who was shot in the face, remains in critical condition but is said to be stable.

Dallas police officer ‘executed’

Around 10:02 p.m., police say Cobb parked in the For Oak Cliff Community Center Parking lot on Ledbetter Road near Marsalis Avenue. Shortly after, Officer Burks pulled into the parking lot as well. 

While recording on his phone, Cobb approached Burks and talked to him through the window.

“The suspect then pulled out a handgun and executed Officer Brooks as he sat in his vehicle,” Chief Garcia said.

At that point, the dispatcher heard a strange transmission coming from Burks’ radio. When the dispatcher was not able to reach Burks, they used Burks’ GPS location to find him and sent backup officers there.

Chief Garcia says Cobb went back to his car to grab a shotgun and placed it on top of Burks’ squad car.

At 10:11 p.m., Dallas Police Senior Corporal Jamie Farmer pulled into the parking lot. Cobb then immediately started shooting at Farmer with his handgun, Garcia says.

Officer Farmer returned fire and ran across the parking lot. Garcia says Cobb grabbed the shotgun he placed on top of the squad car and fired one shot at Farmer as he was running. He was hit once in the leg.

At 10:12 p.m. Senior Corporal Karissa David pulled up to the parking lot entrance. Chief Garcia says Cobb ran towards the officer and shot her several times as she got out of her squad car.

Officer David returned fire but was shot in the face.

As more backup arrived, Cobbe drove off.

Suspect killed after high-speed police chase

TxDOT cameras captured the police chase as it moved along Loop 12, headed north alongside the west side of Dallas, eventually making its way onto I-35E. 

The chase came to an end in Lewisville on the expressway just north of Highway 121 when Cobb-Bey got out of his car with a shotgun in hand.

Police say Cobb-Bey approached the officer and pointed his gun at them.

Several officers then opened fire, hitting Cobb-Bey several times. 

Cobb-Bey died at the scene. No officers there were injured.

Officers recovered two shotguns from the scene in Lewisville. 

Dallas police community shows support

The two injured officers, Farmer and David, were taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center. David remains in critical condition. Farmer has been released.

Officer Darron Burks was taken to Methodist Dallas Medical Center, where dozens of police officers could be seen waiting outside throughout the night.

At one point, officers could be seen saluting as someone was escorted out of a vehicle and into the hospital.

At 4 a.m., a procession was held as Burks’ body was moved from Methodist Hospital to the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Fellow officers stood at attention and saluted as the officer’s body arrived at the ME’s office.

Chief Eddie Garcia posted an image on social media showing a police badge with a black bar across it and the caption, “No words.”
