Anthony Dewayne Tennon Jr., age 25, was fatally shot on October 15, 2019, in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 2100 block of Hendricks Drive in Arlington, Texas. Investigators say the shooting was not random; Tennon and the suspect had a prior conversation before the gunfire.

Nineteen-year-old Cedrick Duckett was arrested on October 25, 2019, by U.S. Marshals in North Memphis, Tennessee. Agents found Duckett armed with a rifle and other firearms; he initially refused to surrender and was taken into custody after orders were issued over a loudspeaker. He was held in Shelby County Jail awaiting extradition to Texas.

The case mobilized multiple law enforcement agencies and brought attention from the community and Tennon’s family, who remembered him as a gentle soul and a proud father. Any readers with information about the shooting or the events at Hendricks Drive are asked to come forward.
