Original report published Nov. 12:
A student reported an aggravated assault by a former SMU student last night at 11:50 p.m. at 5601 Bryan Parkway in Dallas. The suspect left the area before the arrival of the Dallas Police Department, which responded to the report. The address reported is an aspect of SMU’s Center for Inter-Community Experience, the SMU ICE house, located four miles south of campus. According to the SMU website, four SMU students live at the house, which serves as an unofficial center of neighborhood life. “ICE House students develop programming, hold weekend events, and provide casual tutoring and mentoring to local children,” the website reads.
The suspect has been identified and is being sought by police. Anyone with information about this case can call Dallas Police at 214-671-3584, the DPD tips line at 1-877-373-TIPS or SMU PD at 214-768-3388. Information can be anonymously reported by calling 213-SMU-2TIP or online at smu.edu/2tip.
The Daily Campus will report updates as they become available.
