Jacqueline Garcia says the only thing her daughter does is that she’s in pain.
“She’s like, ‘Mommy, Ouch. Ouch.’ But she doesn’t know why,” Jacqueline said. “She doesn’t know what happened to her.”

Jasmine was shot in the backseat of her parents’ car while they were delivering a DoorDash order in a Far East Dallas neighborhood Sunday night.
The family says they were looking for an address when they turned onto a street and saw a motorcycle driving in the middle of the street with no lights on.

“They almost crashed. So my fiancé, he swerved then to avoid an accident,” Jacqueline recalled. “And at the time, he swerved him. They both honked at each other.”
Jacqueline thought that was the end of it, but she says the motorcycle proceeded to follow the family’s car, and the man riding it shouted at them.
The mom says the man pulled out a gun and fired at the back of the car. Then, she heard a cry from Jasmine in the backseat.

“She screamed,” she recalled. “We both looked back, and she was covered in blood.”
A woman who heard the gunshots ran to the car and told the family to head straight to the hospital while she called 911.

The doctors told the Garcias that the bullet entered through Jasmine’s chest, eventually ending up in her diaphragm. Doctors didn’t remove it because doing so may cause more harm.
Jacqueline is grateful her daughter is still alive.
Police arrested 50-year-old Jason Cain for the shooting. When police searched his home, they found multiple firearms, including automatic weapons. They also saw satanic and nazi symbols in his home.

Cain is charged with injury to a child and three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He bonded out of jail Monday morning.
“We were devastated and worried because of our safety since police said he had multiple firearms in his house,” Jacqueline said. “We just currently don’t feel safe, and it’s really hard.”

Cain’s bond conditions include electronic monitoring. He’s also not allowed to have any weapons.
The family says Jasmine is still having fevers and doesn’t have much of an appetite. She has another appointment to make sure the bullet hasn’t shifted.

Seventy-Six Low-Income Apartments Built for Residents 55 and Older in Jackson, Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss., August 28, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jackson, Mississippi, has a new, $28 million affordable apartment community that serves income-restricted seniors, thanks, in part, to an $850,000 Affordable Housing Program grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) awarded through Trustmark National Bank.
Representatives from the banks were joined today by public officials to celebrate the grand opening of The Pearl.
The Pearl, jointly developed by Gulf Coast Housing Partnership (GCHP) and Pearl Street Community Development Corp., features 76 one- and two-bedroom apartments reserved for residents 55 or older. The community is designed with elements that facilitate aging in place, including a pool, fitness center, community room and an onsite health center.

“Our mission to create affordable housing and build stronger communities across the Gulf Coast is only achievable through our partnerships,” said GCHP President and CEO Kathy Laborde. “The investment from FHLB Dallas and Trustmark National Bank provided essential gap funding for the development of The Pearl, which will have a lasting positive impact on the residents of Jackson.”
AHP funds assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the area median income.
“This new senior living facility symbolizes our efforts to provide equitable access to affordable housing,” said Jaime Sisson, vice president, fair and responsible banking – senior CRA manager at Trustmark National Bank. “This facility reinforces our mission of making a positive impact through our Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) program.”
Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said Trustmark National Bank is a great example of how FHLB Dallas members can leverage the AHP for their community investment goals.
“The Pearl showcases how member institutions can use AHP grants to meet their community investment objectives like providing seniors with safe and affordable housing. This grant demonstrates our commitment to fostering strong communities across the Gulf Coast region.”

At the upcoming Mecum Dallas 2024 auction, a rare gem will take center stage: the 1933 Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster. This exceptional vehicle, one of only 14 ever produced, is expected to draw significant attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. The Speedster, finished in striking red with a black interior, boasts an original Lycoming 391 CI V-12 engine, generating 160 horsepower.
The Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster is celebrated not only for its limited production but also for its unique history. It remains one of only five known to exist, with a notable past of meticulous preservation. The vehicle has been in the Kelsey family for over 58 years, following its purchase by Paul Kelsey in October 1966. The car’s odometer reads a modest 20,433 miles, reflecting its well-preserved state.
The Speedster’s storied history includes a fascinating, though unverifiable, association with Hollywood legend Clark Gable. While this connection remains speculative, it adds an intriguing layer to the car’s provenance. The vehicle’s history is documented with correspondence from the Auburn factory dating back to 1937, and it has been featured in the ACD Newsletter issues of March 1967 and June 1968.
This Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster stands out for its pristine condition, having undergone only one repaint in the 1960s. It features a classic 3-speed manual transmission, dual downdraft carburetors, and chrome knock-off wire wheels, enhancing its vintage appeal. With its combination of rarity, historical significance, and original parts, this Speedster is set to be a highlight of the Dallas auction.
For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a piece of automotive history, the 1933 Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster represents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously preserved classic.

Other moves
– The Cowboys traded tight end Peyton Hendershot to the Kansas City Chiefs just before the cut deadline. Dallas will receive a conditional seventh-round draft pick for Hendershot, rather than leave him available for a team to potentially claim for free had he been waived.
– Offensive tackle Nathan Thomas, a 2024 seventh-round pick, was placed on the reserve/injured list.
– Cornerback DaRon Bland was placed on the reserve/injured-designated to return after sustaining a stress fracture in his foot. He is currently projected to be out six to eight weeks.
– The Cowboys officially signed nose tackle Linval Joseph.
– CeeDee Lamb was placed on the reserve/commissioner exempt. He recently agreed to a new extension with the team. Once Chuma Edoga is placed on IR, Lamb will get moved to the active roster.
