Hayden Scarleto, an 18-year-old from Arlington, Texas, was fatally shot on October 26, 2022, at a car wash on the Kennedale-Arlington border. He was inside a white vehicle with a juvenile companion when both were shot; Hayden was pronounced dead at a hospital and the juvenile survived and was hospitalized in stable condition.

Initially Kennedale Police identified two suspects, 21-year-old Xavier Aguilar and 20-year-old Sonny Ayala, and they were arrested and charged with capital murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and engaging in organized crime with help from several agencies. Those charges were dropped in late November 2022, and Kennedale Police later issued an arrest warrant for 19-year-old Emmanuel Bear charging him with capital murder; investigators have not released details about how Bear was identified or the shooting motive.

Hayden was remembered by family and friends as someone who loved baseball, fishing, camping, and spending time with loved ones. Does anyone have information about Hayden, the car wash shooting, or the lead investigators are pursuing?
