Texas Rangers investigating Frisco officer-involved shooting
FRISCO — Frisco police say a burglary led to an officer-involved shooting Saturday at the Legacy apartment complex just west of the Dallas Parkway.
When officers arrived at the burglary call they found an armed suspect, later identified as Donavan Ray Favors, 42, of Dallas.
A resident who lives in the building and did not want to be identified, says he and his girlfriend had to shelter in place in their apartment for three hours as they heard officers trying to coax someone out of another unit in their building.
"There's like six cop cars, and they all had their lights on and there's a ton of police and they're looking at an apartment diagonally below us and some of them have their guns drawn pointed at the door," he said.
The resident said he woke up from a nap Saturday afternoon to find Frisco Police surrounding his apartment building.
"Kind of stressful because you don't know if they're going to open fire or if somebody else is going to open fire if they need to," he said. "If they're open, if there's going to be a stray bullet or something like that, or if they need to get in for some way that's more invasive."
The couple moved into the building less than two weeks ago.
"We feel like this was a nicer area that we moved to so I feel like these kinds of things happen," he said. "So hopefully it's not a consistent thing."
The burglary happened at another apartment complex but the Texas Department of Public Safety says Frisco officers chased the suspect across Legacy Drive into a gated community where the suspect opened fire on officers and officers shot back.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says Favors died.
None of the officers were injured in the shooting.
Frisco police say this is an isolated incident and that there is no threat to the public. The Texas Rangers are investigating.
