Anthony Tyrese Williams was 18 when he died on December 2, 2020, following a triple-shooting in Southeast Arlington. The violence began as a fight among a group of men that escalated into gunfire; two victims, including Williams, were pronounced dead at a hospital and a third survived with injuries.

Police say the confrontation started over a social media request sent to a girlfriend. A 17-year-old suspect, Lorenzo Armstrong Jr., told detectives he fired after retrieving a gun that had fallen during the scuffle. Arlington officers interviewed witnesses and collected evidence at the scene; the case was referred to the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office.

Williams’ death is a reminder of how quickly disputes can become deadly. If anyone saw the fight or has information that could clarify what happened that night, please contact investigators.
