King Thomas III was a 15-year-old aspiring rapper from Fort Worth, Texas, who was shot and killed in his family’s living room on August 8, 2018. He was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering a gunshot wound. The shooting happened in the early morning hours in the 1700 block of Warren Lane; his mother, Shawndrisa Hicks, had seen him the night before.

Homicide detectives were called to investigate, and early reports mentioned a possible home invasion, but police later said they were not treating the case as a home invasion. Details about suspects and the circumstances remain limited, and no arrests were announced immediately after the killing.

The community mourned King’s loss and his family continues to seek justice. If anyone saw activity in the 1700 block of Warren Lane in the early hours of August 8, 2018, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
