Dallas police said on May 15 that they were looking for 21-year-old Jonathan Hill Jr. in connection with an aggravated robbery and two counts of unlawful restraint of a minor. Investigators tied Hill to two separate cases — an armed robbery reported on Nov. 8, 2025, in the 1100 block of West Davis Street and an incident on March 26, 2026, in the 2500 block of West Mockingbird Lane involving minors, according to public notices circulated by the department and local media. Police asked the public not to approach Hill if he is seen. They said witnesses or anyone with information should call 911 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers. ### Which cases are Dallas police linking to Jonathan Hill Jr.? Dallas police said Hill is wanted in an aggravated robbery case from Nov. 8, 2025, in the 1100 block of West Davis Street. Public reports describing the case said the robbery was classified as aggravated, which under Texas law generally means a deadly weapon was used or displayed, though Dallas police’s public-facing summaries reviewed here did not provide a fuller narrative of the encounter. (hoodline.com) A second case dates to March 26, 2026, in the 2500 block of West Mockingbird Lane. In that investigation, police said Hill is wanted on two counts of unlawful restraint of a minor. The public summaries reviewed did not identify the minors, describe their ages, or say how long they were allegedly restrained. (newsbreak.com) ### What have police said publicly about the suspect? Hoodline, citing Dallas police, identified the suspect as 21-year-old Jonathan Hill Jr. The same report said police were seeking him for aggravated robbery and two counts of unlawful restraint of a minor, and asked residents to help track him down. (newsbreak.com) Dallas police’s own public information pages list Crime Stoppers and tip-reporting channels used for wanted-suspect notices and “Crime of the Week” cases. The department’s Criminal Intelligence Unit says information can be reported through the 24-hour hotline at 214-373-TIPS or 877-373-8477, and the department’s main site also lists WebTips for online submissions. (hoodline.com) ### Where did the reported incidents happen? The West Davis Street case was reported in the 1100 block, according to the police summaries carried by local outlets. That stretch sits in Oak Cliff, southwest of downtown Dallas, in a corridor of homes, small businesses and neighborhood traffic. (dallaspolice.net) The March 26 case was reported in the 2500 block of West Mockingbird Lane. Public notices reviewed did not say whether the two cases are otherwise connected beyond the suspect police named. ### What do the charges mean in this case? Texas authorities use the term aggravated robbery when a robbery involves a weapon or causes serious bodily injury, but the public police summaries in this case did not spell out which allegation applies in the West Davis Street investigation. (newsbreak.com) Local reports describing the incident said the robbery involved a firearm. Two counts of unlawful restraint of a minor indicate police are alleging more than one child victim in the March 26 case. The public notices reviewed did not include court filings, arrest affidavits or a defense response. ### How are police asking the public to respond? Dallas police said anyone who sees Hill should not approach him and should call 911 instead. (newsbreak.com) Crime Stoppers information can be submitted anonymously at 214-373-TIPS, and the North Texas Crime Commission’s Crime Stoppers site says tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward in some cases. As of May 18, Dallas police’s publicly accessible pages reviewed here still listed tip lines and wanted-suspect reporting channels, but they did not show a public arrest update tied to Hill. The next public step is likely to come through a police arrest notice, a jail booking, or an updated Crime Stoppers posting if investigators receive information. (dallaspolice.net) (hoodline.com)
