Jaylon DeJuan Levo, a 22-year-old from Duncanville, Texas, was killed on February 17, 2022, during an armed robbery at an apartment complex. The suspects demanded his belongings and Levo was shot in the left side of his head, the bullet exiting through his ear.

Police arrested 18-year-old Cameron Stafford on a capital murder charge. Court documents say Stafford confessed to being at the scene with the two juveniles. A magistrate originally set bond at $1 million; Judge Chika Anyiam later reduced it to $150,000, and Stafford was released on bond, a decision that prompted backlash from family members and the Dallas Police Chief.

Levo’s family has pushed for justice and accountability; his father, Jeremy Smith, a barber, cut his son’s hair for the funeral. The incident has also renewed local debate about bond practices for violent offenders.

If anyone has information about what happened at the apartment complex that night, please share it with investigators.
