Dallas police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide that left two people dead Friday afternoon in the Stemmons Corridor, officials said.

Officers responded to the 1800 block of West Mockingbird Lane around 2 p.m. They found two men with gunshot wounds. One of the men, 26-year-old Dmarcus Lott, died at the scene, police said.

A preliminary investigation showed that Lott and 42-year-old Roy Bell had been arguing in the parking lot of a business. Investigators determined that Bell shot Lott and then shot himself.

Bell died from his injuries at a hospital. Police said the victim and the suspect knew each other.

The investigation is ongoing, police said, and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Cody Clark at 214-671-3685 or [email protected].
