DALLAS — A Dallas homeless shelter is working with federal investigators after a British national suspected of holding four people hostage inside a Colleyville, Texas, synagogue was dropped off at the facility by someone he appeared to have a relationship with, the shelter’s CEO told The Dallas Morning News.
Wayne Walker, the CEO and pastor at OurCalling, said Monday that the South Dallas shelter turned over photos and video to the FBI after learning that 44-year-old Malik Faisal Akram, of Blackburn, England, stayed at their facility on Jan. 2.
Walker said Akram was dropped off at the facility about 10 p.m. by another person. The two appeared to have a relationship and “hugged as they departed,” he said. Akram spent one night there and left the next day, a shelter spokeswoman said.
