ROCKWALL, TX (October 18, 2024) – On Thursday, October 17th, 2024, just after 1:00am, Rockwall Police responded to a 911 call regarding an unresponsive male in the parking lot of a business in the 2100 block of Summer Lee Drive.

He was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. The scene was secured and the Rockwall PD Criminal Investigation Division responded to investigate the offense.
