DALLAS, TX — A quiet Tuesday morning in East Dallas was shattered by a scene of extreme violence at the Downtown Suites motel on Samuell Boulevard. Authorities responded to an emergency call at approximately 9:30 a.m. on September 9, 2025, only to discover a horrific crime: a victim had been brutally attacked, sustaining multiple stab wounds and decapitation. Blood trailed from inside the motel room to the sidewalk, where the victim was found lying lifeless.
The incident occurred near Interstate 30, close to the familiar grounds of Tenison Golf Course, an area usually associated with recreation and calm. Dallas Police Department officers deployed fifteen units to secure the scene, as Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedics were unable to save the victim, who was pronounced dead on the concrete outside the budget motel.
Investigators immediately cordoned off the motel and surrounding area, extending crime scene tape to a nearby alcohol store. Authorities have not indicated any connection between that business and the attack. Detectives have begun a thorough investigation, collecting forensic evidence and piecing together witness statements in an effort to understand the motive behind the horrific act.

The community is grappling with the shock and horror of such senseless violence in a neighborhood that is typically peaceful. Local residents described the scene as “unimaginable” and expressed concern over safety in the area.
