Dallas, Texas — On September 24, 2023, at about 12:30 a.m., covert officers from Northeast Patrol saw a stolen vehicle traveling westbound on Garland Road near Peavy Road. The car had a paper tag that did not belong to the vehicle. The preliminary investigation determined officers followed the vehicle to the 1800 block of El Capitan. The covert officers then requested uniform officers to respond to the scene. When the uniform officers arrived, they saw the suspect, 55-year-old Michael Shirley outside of the stolen vehicle. Officers gave verbal commands for Shirley to stop and show his hands. Shirley pulled out a handgun and shot at the officers.

Officers returned fire at the suspect. Shirley got into the stolen vehicle and sped away Northbound on El Capitan into a nearby apartment complex and came out eastbound on Barnes Ridge, after cutting through the apartment complex. The suspect then hit a curb in the 2000 block of Barnes Bridge, flipping the car. Covert officers saw the suspect crash and approach the vehicle. The officers were wearing their heavy vest with police markings and deployed their patrol rifles when the suspect again fired at officers. Officers took cover behind a vehicle and returned fire again, hitting the suspect.

The suspect was taken into custody and officers attempted first aid, but Shirley died at the scene. Shirley's gun was recovered at the scene. Officers also found a woman handcuffed in the backseat, she was not injured in the crash and is not considered a suspect. The woman said she got into suspect's vehicle voluntarily and as they drove around the suspect pulled her into the second row of the vehicle and handcuffed her to the seatbelt. Shirley has an extensive criminal history, including spending 8 years in prison for indecency with a child. Shirley had active warrants out for his arrest at the time of the chase and shooting.
