Teen Charged With Murder in Malibu Jack’s Parking-Lot Shooting That Killed 21-Year-Old

An initial Tarrant County court appearance is expected next, with investigators reviewing the case for possible charge changes.

Overview

  • Police arrested 18-year-old Tychriston Reed of Fort Worth on charges including murder, multiple aggravated assaults — two against a public servant — and reckless endangerment of a child.
  • DaShayla Jones, 21, of Dallas died at the scene, and a 23-year-old Dallas man was hospitalized with injuries described as non-life-threatening.
  • The shooting followed a fight that broke out shortly after closing in the parking lot of Malibu Jack’s indoor theme park in North Richland Hills.
  • Two off-duty North Richland Hills police officers were on scene; one returned fire while the other rendered aid to victims.
  • Reed is expected to appear before a Tarrant County judge, and police said two of three 18-year-olds initially detained were later found not involved in the homicide and remained held on unrelated class C charges.
