Police in riot gear held back an angry crowd in South Dallas for hours Tuesday after an officer fatally shot an unarmed suspect.

Hundreds converged outside Dixon Grocery, a block or two from where the dead man lay face down in a grassy lot. Rumors spread among the crowd that (the suspect was running away, unarmed and was shot in the back with only a small amount of marijuana in his possession).

On Wednesday, Dallas Police posted to its Facebook page the transcript of the 911 call that led to the fatal shooting of James Harper by Officer Brian Rowden Tuesday afternoon (after the officer apprehended the suspect and a fight ensued).

The department also provided its (version) of the events that led to last night’s shooting. DPD also released information concerning the search warrant executed at 5316 Bourquin by CAPERS and narcotics detectives.

Dallas City Council members Dwaine Caraway and Carolyn Davis were on WFAA-Channel 8, with both asking residents to keep calm “I am not going to jump to any conclusion until the investigation is over,” Davis said. “If the officer is at fault, then I want Chief [David] Brown to do what’s right.”

On two occasions, News 8 cameras caught the crowd being unruly on Tuesday. The Rev. Earnest Freeney, pastor at the Dixon Circle Missionary Baptist Church, helped keep this tinder box from igniting. The Rev. Freeney and Sgt. Proctor from the Dallas Police Gang Unit played the most heroic roles in the middle of the unruly crowd. Both men worked hard to calm flaring tempers by putting their arms around those who were upset in hopes of squelching their anger and preventing a confrontation.

Police found guns, drugs in South Dallas house that man fled from before fatal shooting. The family held a news conference and said they would wait to see the final investigation results that will determine what happened, before issuing any detailed statements or taking any action.

Also on Wednesday, police released the following: Recovered from the residence was one Ruger P95 9mm hand gun, one Mosburg 12 gauge shot gun, 171 grams of Marijuana, 16.1 grams PCP (38 vials), 30.1 grams Crack Cocaine inside the residence, 19 grams Crack Cocaine outside the residence (on the path the suspects took when fleeing the residence) 24.1 grams Xanex, and 52.1 grams Hydrocodene. Also found were nine cell phones, four digital scales and a partial drug ledger. $437 was recovered from the right front pants pocket of Suspect Harper at the scene.
