Police have said the shooting may have been a hate crime.
Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia confirmed the arrest Tuesday afternoon, saying Smith was taken into custody on unrelated charges and brought in for questioning.Police said Smith told them was in the area of the Royal Lane salon around the time of the shooting on May 11 while looking for a business that could replace a broken pane of glass from a garage door.
During an interview with police, a .380 handgun magazine with four live rounds was found in his pocket and a .380 handgun was found in the minivan along with 10 more live rounds. Garcia said Tuesday afternoon that more investigation needs to be done in those cases before charges are filed.NBC 5 has learned Smith was arrested Monday while working a landscaping job in DeSoto.
After police cuffed Smith and turned him on his stomach, the homeowner said,"You gotta be kidding me, is this some kind of movie or something? I know you're not after this little guy."DeSoto homeowner Charles Allen said it looked like something out of a movie when police arrived to take Jeremy Smith into custody Monday afternoon.The three women shot in the attack have all since been released from the hospital.
Dallas police say the investigation into a shooting that injured three people at a hair salon in NW Dallas on Wednesday may be related to other shootings directed toward area Asian-owned businesses.

Security measures have also been expanded to other areas with Asian-owned businesses and churches in North Texas in the wake of the shootings.Representatives from the FBI Dallas field office attendedand confirmed the agency has opened a federal hate crimes investigation into the shooting.
