Redmon was declared dead at the hospital. The female shooting victim's identity and state have not yet been disclosed by the police.

Whether or not the two were acquainted is unknown, as are the specifics of the horrific incident, but the Dallas Police Department has verified that an examination of the house suggested that Redmon and the woman were injured by the same bullet.

According to a police statement: "The preliminary investigation determined at the apartment, the male, Byron Redmon, 26, shot the adult female victim in the neck during a domestic disturbance. The bullet then exited and hit Redmon in the leg. Redmon died at the hospital.
"The investigation is ongoing and the case is documented under case number 137373-2022"

On August 1, Redmon's family relative Keyonnah Monae reportedly wrote a homage to him in a Facebook post. The caption of the post reads: "You really hurt me with this one Byron! I still can’t believe this real! I’m just waiting to get a notification saying you going live so we can crack up one more time. We was just smiling, hugging telling you welcome home! You was telling me “You gotta get out have fun, enjoy life and have some kids!” Lol ima continue to enjoy life and smile for you Smoove, now that kid part it’s still giving nah fam ! Ima miss you lil cousin, hug my granny and brother for me! When you was telling us when we loss T we ain’t loss one we got you! I know you ain’t mean this way cousin!"

When a bullet enters a human body, its trajectory frequently changes after hitting bones and organs and chances are it will exit the body in a little different direction. The authorities have not identified the weapon Redmon used in the shooting since investigations into the event is still underway, according to the police.
