Erving Family Seeks Murder Charges in Dallas Lake Death as Teens Face Evidence-Tampering Allegations

An 18-year-old swimmer, Daniel Erving, drowned at Lake Ray Hubbard near Dallas. Two teens—19-year-old Lucas Roper and a juvenile—were arrested on suspicion of tampering with evidence (disposing of Erving’s belongings and deleting text messages). Erving’s mother, with Ben Crump serving as counsel for the family, is pushing for murder charges, arguing the death should be investigated as a homicide despite the medical examiner’s ruling that it was an accidental drowning. The case remains open as investigators and prosecutors review new information and the family launches an independent probe.
