Muhammad Hussain Obituary, – Two distinct shooting incidents resulting in the deaths of gas station clerks in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have been connected to the same individual, 21-year-old Davonta Mathis from Waco. He is now facing multiple charges, including two counts of capital murder.
On Thursday, at approximately 11:05 p.m., Mesquite police responded to a shooting at a gas station on West Bruton Road. Muhammad Hussain, a 60-year-old man from Carrollton, was found with multiple gunshot wounds. Hussain was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Surveillance footage provided crucial details about the suspect’s vehicle, leading to a breakthrough in the investigation, Mesquite police reported.
Just two days later, on Saturday, around 12:30 a.m., Dallas police were called to a shooting at another gas station on Lake June Road. The suspect, later identified as Mathis, entered the store, approached the counter, and shot 32-year-old Gopi Krishna Dasari, according to Dallas police. Dasari was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition and passed away the following day.
After both incidents, Mathis allegedly stole items and attempted to access the cash registers before fleeing the scene. Shortly after the Dallas incident, a Mesquite officer spotted the suspect’s vehicle and initiated a pursuit. Mathis was apprehended following the chase. Initially charged with evading arrest with a vehicle, further investigation linked Mathis to the murders of Hussain and Dasari, resulting in an upgraded charge of murder from robbery, authorities confirmed. Both police departments have emphasized that the investigations are ongoing and have encouraged anyone with additional information to come forward.
