Sean Darrius Woodberry, 27, was fatally shot in the parking lot of a Fort Worth restaurant at 4224 E Lancaster Avenue on May 31, 2020, shortly before 10 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds to the chest. The shooting occurred during a custody exchange and involved an altercation with his ex-partner’s new boyfriend, Ryan Willrich.

Investigators from the Fort Worth Police Department and the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office worked the case. Willrich was arrested and charged with murder; later legal proceedings resulted in a conviction and a life sentence. Sean’s family has pursued claims alleging the restaurant failed to provide adequate security that might have prevented the shooting.

Sean was remembered as a son, brother, and father who loved basketball and music and was expecting a child at the time of his death. Did anyone in the Fort Worth area have information about security at that restaurant or the events that night?
