Five hours before King was killed, according to DPD, Jerry Raymond Riedel, 64, allegedly killed his neighbor near Fair Park. Police responded to a vacant house at 3525 Roberts Ave. after 4 p.m. Saturday after reports of a shooting. When they arrived on the scene, they found Wyshawn Gaddy, 41, dead from a gunshot wound. Police quickly focused on Riedel, King’s neighbor, as a suspect. He hasn’t been found, but police say the public should be on the lookout for a 1997 silver Toyota Camry, license plate DYS9277.
The woman in the creek, King and Gaddy are the 74th, 75th and 76th murders in Dallas so far this year, according to police records.
