Off-duty officers working in an ‘uniformed off-duty capacity’ first heard gunshots at about 2:20 a.m. in the 10700 block of Finnell Street, Dallas police said in a news release on Sunday.

The Dallas Police Department said officers were working an off-duty job when they heard a gunshot. The officers went towards the sound, where they saw two people fighting in a parking lot.

They said James Watkins was born and raised in South Dallas, and it’s a loss felt by others in the community. “It’s so, so many people talking about James. That know him,” said Calvin.

Alexander James Beasley, 36, was charged with assault-family violence, impeding breathing after police were called to the 17th floor hotel room.
