Here's the full release from the Dallas Police Department on the shooting of Texas Tech Basketball legend Andre Emmett:

"On September 23, 2019, at approximately 2:30 a.m., the victim, Andre Emmett, a 37-year-old Black male was approached by two unknown suspects as he sat in his vehicle in front of his residence in the 1800 block of N.
