Simieon Joseph, a 19-year-old African American, was fatally shot at a house party in the 1100 block of East Baltimore Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas, on February 12, 2022. He was taken to a hospital and died a few hours later. A 13-year-old, Korey Smith, also died after being shot and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Authorities arrested 18-year-old Dayran Montrice Hobdy and charged him with murder along with counts of evading arrest, possession of a controlled substance, and unlawful carrying of a weapon. Police said Hobdy had been involved in an argument with a group of uninvited individuals at the party, and gunfire broke out; Joseph and Smith were described as innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. Hobdy was held at the Tarrant County jail on bond set at $350,000.

Joseph had graduated from Crowley High School in 2021, was living with his parents Melody and Dexter Joseph, and was pursuing a rap music career. The Fort Worth Police Department continued to investigate; no further suspects or motive have been released. Did anyone at the party or in the neighborhood see what led to the argument that night?
