Homicide Investigation

On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at approximately 12:07 a.m., Mesquite Police officers responded to a reported shooting in the 2200 block of Amber Springs Drive. It was reported earlier that the shooting occurred in the 2800 block of Clearwater Drive, however the investigation determined the actual shooting took place on Amber Springs Drive.

Upon arrival, officers located two males in the roadway suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Officers immediately initiated lifesaving measures, including CPR, before both individuals were transported to Baylor Hospital, where they later died from their injuries. Both victims were 18-year-old Mesquite residents. Their identities are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

A third individual, a 20-year-old male suffering from gunshot wounds, arrived separately at a local emergency room. Investigators believe he was involved in the same incident. His injuries are considered non-life-threatening, and he is being transferred to a Dallas-area hospital for further treatment.

Preliminary information indicates that a dispute involving family members escalated into a physical altercation, during which fi****ms were produced and shots were fired. The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation.

This remains an active investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.

Be Safe. Drive Smart. is a year-long public education and awareness effort aimed at saving lives and reducing crashes. The umbrella campaign covers all aspects of safe driving with a special focus on traffic safety in the state’s energy sectors, work zones and along the I-35 corridor. Our goal is to make drivers aware of their own unsafe driving habits. How a driver behaves and reacts behind the wheel can be the difference between a safe journey and a deadly crash.

Safety tips
The State of Texas records over 3,000 traffic fatalities a year. TxDOT urges all drivers to observe safe driving practices:

Be courteous to other drivers.
Always buckle up, all riders, day and night.
Pay attention, focus on driving when behind the wheel, put the phone away or turn it off.
Drive to conditions, slow down when weather conditions are bad.
Stop for all stop signs and red lights.
Pass carefully when it’s legal and safe.
Never drive after drinking alcohol or consuming other drugs or medications that cause drowsiness.
Slow down or move over for flashing lights; a law enforcement vehicle, emergency vehicle, tow truck or TxDOT vehicle that may be stopped along the side of the road.

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of Detention Officer Regina Garrett, who courageously battled cancer.

Regina dedicated over 28 years of service to the Mesquite Police Department and was the most senior person in Detention Services. She will always be remembered for her sweet spirit, kindness, and unwavering dedication to those around her. She was truly a special part of our MPD family and will be deeply missed.

Our deepest condolences go out to Regina’s family, friends, and coworkers during this difficult time. We are grateful for her many years of service and the lasting impact she made on all who knew her.

Rest in peace, Regina. You will not be forgotten. 💙
