Michael Darrough, 38, was fatally shot multiple times in the parking lot of the Lakeshore Apartments in Lake Dallas, Texas, on February 6, 2021. He was found wounded about 2:30 a.m. after police responded to an active shooter call and died after being taken to Medical City Denton.

Two people were arrested in connection with Darrough’s death: Shineisha Renee Mann, 42, and Lindsey Ladell Crumpton II, 34, each booked into the Denton County Jail on murder charges with bail set at $1 million. The investigation continued as law enforcement collected evidence to build the case.

Legal complications emerged in early 2024 when a judge dismissed the murder case against Brandon Johnson, an individual who had been arrested in connection with the shooting, citing evidentiary failings and negligence by the Lake Dallas Police Department that caused delays and due process violations. The Denton County District Attorney’s office filed an appeal seeking to reinstate those charges, and the appellate process was expected to take several months.

Did anyone in the Lake Dallas area see activity near the Lakeshore Apartments around February 6, 2021, that could help investigators?
