After deadly crash, loved one questions suspect's actions at scene
Apr 06, 2026
New arrest documents show an alleged drunk driver tried to flee the scene after a crash that killed two men in Dallas early Sunday morning.
Dallas police arrested 22-year-old Isaac Chacon and charged him with two counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of collision involving death. Inv
estigators say he collided with another vehicle at Military Parkway and North Jim Miller Road just before 2 a.m.
One man died at the scene. Another died after being taken to a nearby hospital.
“I don’t think somebody should have lost their life for the price of an Uber. Just don’t drink and drive,” Monique Dawson said.
Dawson’s boyfriend, Orinthius Deante Brown, was one of the victims. She said they had been together for more than a decade.
A day after his death, Dawson reflected on their last conversation and one she wished they had.
“If you love somebody, talk to them because you never know when it’s going to be the last time. When I woke up Sunday morning, I had a couple of missed calls from him, and I just brushed it off like, I’ll just talk to him later. We’re gonna spend all day together. I don’t know if I’d be on the phone with him all day. I’m busy cooking and tired. I’m gonna talk to him next time, and it’s never going to be a next time. It’s never gonna be a next time, that’s it,” she said.
Dawson said Brown was a father of three who often helped others.
According to an arrest affidavit, Chacon tried to flee immediately after the crash, but witnesses detained him until police arrived.
“What if instead of trying to run away, he ran toward the people he hit and tried to help?” Dawson said.
Dawson said anything less than life behind bars would not provide justice for the victims’ loved ones.
“That was my person, and now he’s gone,” she said.
