Overview
- Tychriston Reed, 18, of Fort Worth, was arrested hours after the attack and is charged with murder, multiple aggravated-assault counts—including against a public servant—and reckless endangerment of a child.
- Investigators say he fired into the Malibu Jack’s lot, killing 21-year-old DaShayla Jones as her four-year-old son watched and injuring a 23-year-old man who is expected to recover.
- Police report the confrontation began inside the indoor park and moved outside after security removed the suspect over the reported wristwatch dispute.
- Three 18-year-olds were initially detained at the scene, but two were later cleared in the homicide and held on unrelated class C charges.
- Authorities say a potential conviction could bring a life sentence, and the victim’s family and local advocates are calling for stronger security at family-oriented venues.
