Dallas game warden investigating coyote shootings in Lochwood neighborhood
DALLAS – Authorities are investigating whether a vigilante is shooting coyotes in a Dallas neighborhood.
Dallas Animal Services says it’s investigating three coyote deaths since August. Two of them were shot.
Authorities don’t know who is doing it, but people who live in the area are rattled.
Emily Levin is still left disturbed by the dead coyote found in her front yard last week.
“Wednesday, this dead coyote appeared in our front yard on the border between our yard and our neighbor’s yard,” she recalled.
Levin says a city wildlife investigator immediately came out to her Lochwood neighborhood and revealed the coyote had been shot.
“And I asked her if she knew if it had been shot in our front yard or it had walked. And she said it was hard to tell, which is not reassuring,” Levin said.
DAS tells FOX 4 it’s been investigating a possible trend since August.
Three coyotes have been found dead in Lochwood. Two were shot. The third was disposed of before the city arrived on scene.
“Like, don’t go shooting a gun in a neighborhood!” Levin said.
The neighborhood has been shaken for weeks.
Just a few streets over from Levin, a homeowner sent FOX 4 surveillance video from late October where you can hear gunfire. You can hear glass shattering at the end.
One bullet went through a home’s front window near Easton Road and East Lake Highlands Drive. No one was hurt.
More recently, the same homeowner said he heard gunshots again Sunday afternoon. Dallas police say they responded, but no one was injured.
It’s unknown if these incidents are related to the coyote shootings.
However, the Dallas County game warden confirmed they are investigating and are asking for all surveillance video to be handed over.
Levin has a warning to anyone disrupting the peace in her neighborhood.
“Don’t bring that to our neighborhood. It’s too nice of a place for that,” she said.
The Dallas County game warden couldn’t reveal too much information on the investigation but wanted to remind people the coyotes in urban areas are being monitored.
At this point, no coyotes in the Lochwood area have posed a threat to humans.

Before The Boys, Chace Crawford Starred In A Dallas-Esque Drama With Don Johnson – TVLine
From the golden boy charm of heartthrob Nate Archibald to the bizarre sea-creature fetishes of the Deep, Chace Crawford’s career has been defined by two iconic and wildly different roles. But there’s another big part sandwiched between those two you might’ve forgotten about.
Four years before he joined the blood- and carnage-filled world of “The Boys” — currently in the midst of its skull-crushing fifth and final season — he took part in a short-lived “Dallas”-esque primetime soap opera called “Blood & Oil” starring opposite Don Johnson of ’80s “Miami Vice” fame.
Set during the present-day oil boom in North Dakota, 2015’s “Blood & Oil” follows Billy LeFever (Crawford), an ambitious working man who relocates to the bustling town of Rock Springs with his wife, Cody (Rebecca Rittenhouse), to try their luck in the black gold business. But drama soon unfolds after he engages in risky dealings with a swindling oil tycoon named Hap Briggs (Johnson).
Crawford signed up for the role just three years after “Gossip Girl” and he opened up to People about why he was excited to tackle the opportunity.
“It was a great situation, and I get to play a completely different character than the one I portrayed for six years,” he told the outlet. “It’s nice to be able to play something that’s closer to home for me. And to not have to shave my face off every day.”
Blood & Oil was not renewed for a second season due to poor ratings
“Blood & Oil” mostly scored mixed to average reviews (it has a 63% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a lower 40% audience score). Some critics brushed it off as just another pale “Dallas” wannabe, while others found Crawford’s presence insufficiently commanding for the lead role.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, behind-the-scenes clashes resulted in a last-minute showrunner swap, and ABC reduced its original order of 13 episodes down to 10 during its run, which didn’t bode well. The outlet also reported that “Blood & Oil” opened with a modest 6.3 million total viewers which eventually dwindled to 3.1 million and a 0.7 rating by the time the final episode of “Blood & Oil” aired. The series was not renewed for a second season.
If you want to check out all 10 episodes of the show, they’re currently only available for purchase on Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and Apple TV.

FRISCO, Texas — Smiles are being worn by everyone inside the Dallas Cowboys’ organization after what’s being roundly viewed as one of the most impressive NFL draft hauls in some time, headlined by the 11th-overall selection of superstar safety Caleb Downs ahead of grabbing UCF quarterback harasser Malachi Lawrence to round out the first round.
Not to be forgotten, however, is the work that was done on Day 2, when the Cowboys traded a fifth-round pick to add veteran linebacker Dee Winters to the roster, then using their lone third-round pick on Jaishawn Barham, a versatile Michigan linebacker who will play both inside and outside in Dallas.
The position coach directly responsible for acclimating them to the NFL level and for potentially turning them into impact players is former SMU defensive coordinator Scott Symons, and Symons can barely contain his enthusiasm about his new-look linebackers’ corps.
“The three guys I’ve been able to interact with the past couple of months — Justin [Barron], Shemar [James] and [DeMarvion Overshown] — I’m really excited about the guys that we currently have and the guys that we’ve added to this room, from a culture standpoint, from a leadership standpoint, I think we have a really good foundation to build on in there,” Symons said after the Day 2 moves in Dallas.
He then went on to gush over Winters, whom he knows well from their SMU vs. TCU days.
“[Winters] was very disruptive, an extremely athletic linebacker and the clear leader of the [TCU] defense,” Symons said. “This is a process that’s been going on for some time to try and make this happen. I’ve been a huge advocate for it. When you look at his [2025] production — his ability to run, his ability to cover, the multiplicity that he brings to the table and what it does to that room is really exciting for us. It feels really good.”
The trade was fortuitous for Winters, who is in the process of building a house in Arlington and, just like that, gets a call that he’ll be returning home for good to play football for the Cowboys.
The front office made it clear the decision for Winters began during talks that eventually sent Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers, and given the fact future Hall of Fame linebacker Fred Warner rubber stamped the move by taking to social media to post that “Dallas got them a real one, for real” attached to a crying face emoji, there’s something to be said for his potential.
He and Barham already fit the mold of what Symons demands from his linebackers, as do the incumbents in the room, something else the Cowboys’ LBs coach pointed out.
“In this position, it’s important to look at the overall alpha mentality,” he said of his group. “All guys don’t have to be the same. You can have two different linebackers on the field, but you’ve gotta have guys that have strong leadership qualities.”
