A man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting in East Oak Cliff that left a 36-year-old dead

A man faces murder charges in connection with the fatal shooting of another man in East Oak Cliff.

Officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 1700 block of Overhill Lane, near Biglow Drive, around 8:30 a.m. Friday and found a gunshot victim, police said.

The victim, identified by police as 36-year-old Zachary James, was taken to the hospital, where he died Saturday.

George James, 65, was arrested in connection with the shooting and booked into the Dallas County Jail Friday afternoon, where he had remained since Monday morning.

Jail records show he was being held on bail totaling $750,000: $500,000 for murder and $250,000 for aggravated assault. It was not immediately clear whether the assault charge listed in the jail log was an initial charge that was later changed to murder after the younger James’ death, or an unrelated charge.

It was unclear whether he had a lawyer.

Police did not release any additional details about the shooting and would not say whether the men – who share the same surname – were related, saying the department does not have a “practice of confirming or disclosing relationships.”

The investigation is ongoing.
