Frisco Police Fatally Shoot Man Wanted on Felony Warrant; Woman Arrested

Frisco police shot and killed a man last week after he allegedly pointed a firearm at officers while they attempted to serve felony warrants. The incident, which took place in a gated community on Travis Drive, also led to the arrest of a woman wanted on a separate felony charge.

According to Frisco police, the shooting occurred around 6 p.m. last Thursday when officers arrived to serve arrest warrants for 43-year-old Gregory “Dylan” Sheppard and 32-year-old Kara Carper. Sheppard was wanted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief, while Carper was wanted for aggravated assault.

During the arrest, police say Sheppard aimed a gun at an officer, prompting the officer to fire. Despite attempts to provide medical aid, Sheppard was pronounced dead at the scene. Carper was taken into custody and booked into the Collin County Jail.

Frisco Police Chief David Shilson defended the officer’s actions, stating, “When a suspect points a firearm at a police officer, it is clearly a deadly force situation. The suspect’s poor choice in this incident led to a situation where our officer was forced to defend themself.”

Authorities have not disclosed how Sheppard and Carper were connected, how many shots were fired, or the specifics of the charges that led to their warrants.

The department faced criticism for waiting four days to release details of the shooting. Initial reports on social media only mentioned an “officer-involved shooting” without confirming any injuries or fatalities.

Criminologist Alex Del Carmen noted that while law enforcement agencies have discretion in what information they release, transparency is crucial for maintaining public trust.

“The sooner that they can release the information and the more information that can be revealed to the public after the incident, the better the police department will stand with that community,” Del Carmen explained.

The Texas Rangers have launched an investigation into the shooting. Carper has since been released from jail after posting a $100,000 bond.
