Jaime Rokkett dies in fatal Dallas shooting
Fatal Dallas shooting death of Jaime Rokkett
A female suspect has been formally accused of fatally shooting her former partner at a Dallas shopping center, as reported by local law enforcement. The incident occurred on Tuesday, July 2, 2025, at The Shops at RedBird mall.
Police units arrived at approximately 3:50 p.m. following auditory reports of gunfire in the vicinity of West Camp Wisdom Road. According to official statements, the accused individual, identified as 43-year-old Rashona Lowe, is charged with murder.
Lowe is said to have surrendered to the Arlington Police Division, during which she allegedly disclosed involvement in a personal dispute with her ex-boyfriend and indicated the use of a firearm. She reported leaving behind the weapon at the scene before being moved to the Dallas Police Department facility.
Evidence from surveillance footage indicates that Lowe approached the Cookies-N-Smoothies store, the business owned by the deceased, 53-year-old Jaime Rokkett. The recording captures a conversation between the two individuals that extended for roughly an hour. Subsequently, Lowe retrieved a handgun, discharged several shots, and then jumped over the counter, firing additional rounds at Rokkett.
Medical examiners noted that Rokkett sustained injuries to his head, chest, and legs before Lowe exited the premises, abandoning the gun. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the suspect flee the area in an SUV while displaying visible distress, prompting inquiries about her wellbeing.
The victim’s family, including his spouse, has been informed by authorities. During an interview, Rokkett’s partner mentioned ongoing harassment by Lowe, which included the existence of a restraining order. A forensic expert in criminal behavior observed that this case exemplifies a system failure, noting that while restraining measures can deter suspects, they are not foolproof against violent escalation.
Community organizations have expressed condolences. The Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce issued a statement offering support to the affected families and assured collaboration with law enforcement to bolster security at the mall. A city council representative also extended sympathy and encouraged public cooperation with the ongoing investigation.
The probe remains active, and authorities have requested any relevant information via a provided contact number.
