TRUE CRIME

Police in May found Christopher Carraway unconscious between the Sonic and a car wash on Plano Road at Walnut Hill. The 36-year-old died from “multiple injuries” at a local hospital shortly after the discovery. Dallas Police detectives are seeking details related to the apparent murder. Call 214.671.3665 if you have any information.

Police continue to seek intelligence related to the May 2 sexual assault of a woman in her Holly Hill Drive apartment, which straddles the Lake Highlands and Vickery Meadow neighborhoods. “The unknown suspect entered into the residence through an unlocked door and demanded property while displaying a weapon. The suspect then sexually assaulted the victim and fled the location in an unknown direction,” Police say. (A police sketch is viewable on advocatemag.com.)

One morning near the end of April, a temporary lockdown of some Lake Highlands schools went into effect as an active shooter allegedly terrorized a nearby office building. Walking into a seventh-floor conference room of a building on I-635, Matthew Kempf , 60, of Allen shot and killed Lana Canada of Sulphur Springs, a newlywed with seven children, before turning the gun on himself. 42
