Remembering Kamron Taque: A Vibrant Life Cut Short in a Tragic Double Shooting
In the early hours of Sunday morning, the South Dallas community was shaken by a senseless act of violence that claimed the life of Kamron Taque, a vibrant 18-year-old with his whole future ahead of him. Kamron was fatally wounded in a double shooting that occurred around 3:35 a.m. in the 4300 block of South Malcolm X Boulevard. While police and emergency responders acted quickly, rushing both victims to the hospital, Kamron tragically succumbed to his injuries. The second victim, whose identity has not been released, remains in stable condition.
The loss of Kamron has left an aching void in the hearts of all who knew him. He was more than just a name in a headline—he was a son, a father, a friend, and a young man full of dreams and potential. At just 18, Kamron was navigating the challenges of young adulthood, finding his place in the world, and striving to build a better future not only for himself but also for his child.
Those close to Kamron remember him as someone who lit up every room he entered. His smile was contagious, his energy magnetic, and his heart enormous. He had a way of making people feel seen and valued, and he approached life with a passion that was impossible to ignore. Whether he was joking with friends, caring for his loved ones, or making plans for the future, Kamron lived with an intensity and warmth that left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Now, in the face of unimaginable grief, Kamron’s family is reaching out to the community—not only to mourn his tragic and untimely passing but also to ask for support during this devastating time. His mother, shattered by the loss of her son, is appealing for help with funeral expenses and, most urgently, to assist with the care of Kamron’s young child, who now faces life without their father.
This is more than a tragedy; it is a heartbreaking reminder of the fragility of life and the deep, lasting scars left by gun violence. Kamron’s death is not just a statistic—it is a devastating personal loss that ripples through his family, his friends, and his entire community. A young father, taken before he had the chance to watch his child grow. A son, taken before he could continue to make his mother proud. A friend, taken before he could make more memories with those who loved him.
The family is currently organizing a fundraiser to ensure Kamron receives the farewell he deserves—a memorial that honors his life, his light, and his legacy. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go toward helping this grieving family shoulder the immense burden of funeral costs and ensure that Kamron’s child is cared for in the days, months, and years ahead.
As the investigation continues and police work to bring those responsible to justice, the community must rally around the Taque family in solidarity, love, and support. Kamron’s life mattered. His dreams mattered. His memory deserves to be held in light, not lost to darkness.
We mourn a life lost too soon, and we stand with the family in seeking healing, justice, and peace.
Rest in peace, Kamron Taque. Your spirit lives on in every heart you touched.
