EAST OAK CLIFF: Intruder fatally shot during home break-in A 25-year-old
Dallas man was fatally shot early Wednesday after he broke into an East
Oak Cliff home and startled one of the occupants, police said.
Investigators said it appears that the 23-year-old man who shot the
intruder was acting lawfully. The man was not arrested, but the case
will be forwarded to a Dallas County grand jury, which is routine,
police said. The victim was identified as Freddie Lee Price Jr., who
lived a few blocks away in the 3100 block of 51st Street. According to
Dallas County court records, Mr. Price had 14 previous convictions for
burglary, theft, or drug possession. The shooting occurred about 1:40
a.m. in the 4600 block of Bonnie View Road.
