Gee, Officer Black doesn't sound like a good old boy from East Texas.
“We’re not ignoring anything,” says senior corporal DeMarquis Black, a Dallas police spokesman. “But right now the only thing these two cases have in common is that they’re both unsolved, and both were malicious crimes.”
As reward jumps to
$20,000 for leads about
one elderly man’s
beating, Dallas police
investigate another

Dallas police said Friday there could be a link between an assault on a 74-year-old early Friday and knockout game,’” a moniker law enforcement agencies have given to random assaults involving, usually, teens trying to knock out a victim with a single punch. After spending much of Friday trying to find out why officers noted that in their report, Black said late Friday that “we have no indication that the assault is related to the knockout game.”
Maj. Jeff Cotner of the Dallas Police Department asked the media Friday evening not to use the phrase “knockout game” when referring to Friday morning’s assault.
Police say there are reasons to believe the crimes could be linked. The Denny’s and Campisi’s, of course, aren’t far apart — a couple of miles down Central, a few minutes at most. Also: It appears both men were assaulted by three suspects, who didn’t rob either victim.
“Investigators are working with very few leads,” says Black, “and still seeking assistance from the public.”
[And the DPD and DMN are helping the perps by obfuscating, lying, and refusing to report the perps’ descriptions!]
Also on Friday the reward for information leading to arrests in Rocha’s case has increased to $20,000, after an anonymous donor stepped up with an additional $5,000.
