One person is dead and another is in jail following a shooting at a barbershop on the 2800 block of Citizens Parkway Friday night.
Eighty’s Rack Barbershop owner David Johnson III, 31, was initially taken in for questioning in connection with the shooting before he was charged with murder and placed under a $100,000 bond at the Dallas County Jail.
The incident occurred at approximately 7 p.m. at Eighty’s Rack Barbershop when Johnson shot a patron after an argument, according to Selma Police Department officer Lt. Curtis Muhannad.

When officer arrived on the scene, they found a black male in his thirties unresponsive and lying inside the barbershop with two gunshot wounds, according to a news release.
The victim, whose name was not released, died en route to Vaughan Regional Medical Center Muhannad said.
