Co-ed

Patsy Soto’s daughter was getting picked up by a friend that morning, when the vandal’s work was found.

“the gentleman that picked her up saw something on the back of my car,” Soto says.

Someone had used red spray paint to vandalize her white van. Along with the f-bomb were other vulgarities “666,” and “Zebo.”

“It made me angry,” Soto says. “It’s just such a ridiculous waste of time going around and marking up people’s property like this.” the paint came out easily and did not leave any damage to Soto’s car, but other victims may not have been so lucky.

“All it took was some degreaser and it came right off,” she says. “there was no damage fortunately.”

The Victim: Patsy Soto

The Crime: Criminal mischief/vandalism

Date: Tuesday, Aug. 11

Time: Between 12:30 a.m. and 8 a.m.

Location: 2500 block of Alco

Soto was not the only victim, and police records show that several homes experienced similar acts of vandalism on the same night. Soto says a neighborhood park was also hit.

Dallas Police Deputy chief rick Watson of the Southwest Patrol Division says police are investigating. because homeowners of all different races were hit, they have ruled out a hate crime.

“When we got notified of it, we contacted our intelligence division and they sent detectives to investigate and take a look at it to see if it was a hate crime and they determined that it was not,” he says. “When you look at the diversity of citizens who live in that neighborhood, you have African-Americans, you have Hispanics, you have whites they didn’t believe it was a hate crime.”

Watson says gang involvement has not been ruled out, but police do not have any suspects yet. Investigators are continuing to communicate with gang members to possibly get some leads.

“We’re not really 100 percent sure it is gang-related,” he says. “the gang unit is taking a look at it and investigating it. they have interviewed other gangs in that area, but have not been successful in getting any more information about who might have done it.

“the biggest challenge that we have is that we don’t have any suspect information. With the gang unit detectives investigating it, probably if we get a lead it may be through their efforts in interviewing gang members.”
