Investigation and Evidence
Renaissance Tower security also contacted the police, saying they saw a man running in the area and hiding items in a flower bed. In video footage, officers saw a man, suspected to be Wynn, storing clothes, then leaving in a white tank top, according to the affidavit. Officers said in the affidavit that DART surveillance confirmed the clothes hidden were the clothes the DART shooting suspect was wearing. Before the shooting, DART surveillance also showed the suspect lunging at the victim and a brief struggle before shots were fired, according to the affidavit.
Arrest and Charges
Wynn was booked into the Dallas County jail a day after the shooting. He faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to jail records. The motive behind the shooting and whether the victim knew Wynn were unknown. DART officers didn’t participate in Wynn’s arrest, an agency spokesperson said. It remains unclear which agency arrested Wynn and where he was arrested.
Mugshot and Injuries
In Wynn’s mugshot, he appears to have bruising on his face and his eyes are closed as a jail worker holds his head. Wynn arrived at the jail with his injuries, said Doug Sisk, a spokesperson for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office. Every inmate is checked by Parkland Memorial Hospital personnel before they arrive at the jail, he said. Sisk confirmed that a jail worker was holding Wynn’s head in the photo. He said Wynn wasn’t unconscious in the photo, but was being uncooperative, so the worker held Wynn to keep his head straight for the mugshot.
Bond and Legal Representation
As of Wednesday afternoon, his bond amount was set at $125,000, jail records showed. It was not clear if Wynn has an attorney.
