On May 9, 2020, 24-year-old Simone Taylor was shot and killed at an apartment complex in Arlington, Texas. Police responded to a shooting call around 2 a.m. near the 2500 block of Forest Point Drive and found Taylor with a gunshot wound to her chest; she was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

A man who had been dating Taylor and who was at the scene was initially detained. After interviews, authorities concluded the shooting was accidental and the weapon had been handled negligently. He was released and the investigation was forwarded to the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office. The DA’s office later determined no charges would be filed, and there were no arrests or prosecutions for murder or manslaughter related to the incident.

Taylor’s death remains a tragic loss for her family and friends. Does anyone who knew Simone or who was in that neighborhood around Forest Point Drive on May 9, 2020, have information that could add clarity to what happened?
