The man reportedly sped away from the scene in a truck but crashed into another vehicle a few blocks away at Preston Road and Beverly Drive.

Officers from Dallas, Highland Park, University Park and Southern Methodist University responded to the help and a perimeter was set up to search for the man, who ran away from the crash, Koppa said.

An off-duty officer working at Highland Park Village found the man shortly after in the 4200 block of Livingston Avenue, he said.

As I understand TX law, you can shoot a burglar if the crime is occuring at night, but not during the day. Right?

That may be why they haven't found the shooter, but there may be other extenuating circumstances, like he/she was not supposed to have a gun. It says, it occurred, at about 8 pm, but I don't know if that is considered nighttime or not since it is still light. Either way, perhaps, the experience will sway this pair of misfits to seek other employment. JMHO

A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other’s imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
