On Monday, June 8, 2026, at approximately 3:02 p.m., Mansfield Police officers responded to a
reported shoplifting in progress at Target, located at 1801 N. U.S. 287 Frontage Road.
The reporting party provided a description of the suspect vehicle. The Mansfield Police Department
deployed a Drone with its First Responder (DFR) program, which successfully located the vehicle and
obtained a license plate number. Communications personnel discovered the vehicle had been reported
stolen earlier that day out of Richardson, Texas.
When officers arrived on scene, the suspect vehicle failed to yield and fled, initiating a pursuit. During
the investigation, officers determined that two suspects were inside the vehicle while a third suspect
remained inside the Target store.
The pursuit ended in the 3900 block of Interstate 20 in Dallas when the suspect vehicle crashed into a
white Chevrolet Suburban that was stopped on the shoulder of the roadway. The Suburban had been
involved in an unrelated traffic accident, and all occupants were outside their vehicle exchanging
information at the time of the collision.
The suspect vehicle, a gray Toyota Camry, was occupied by the driver, 65-year-old Nelson Murray, and
passenger, 62-year-old Willie McNealy. A third suspect, 63-year-old Erwin Roland, was detained at the
Target location.
Murray is charged with Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, Evading Arrest with a Vehicle, and
Engaging in Organized Retail Theft. McNealy and Roland are each charged with Engaging in Organized
Retail Theft.
All three suspects were arrested and transported to the Mansfield Jail without further incident.
At the time of Roland’s arrest, officers recovered $383.91 worth of stolen merchandise from his
possession. Additional stolen merchandise valued at $1,192.63 was recovered from the suspect vehicle.
No injuries were reported during the incident.
This investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information related to this case is encouraged to
