Matthew Lemus, 19, of Crowley, Texas, was found dead on August 5, 2017, alongside 17-year-old Edgar Ramirez near a community pool in the Crescent Springs Ranch subdivision. Both victims had sustained gunshot wounds and the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled their deaths homicides. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots late that night.

Crowley police say the killings occurred during a drug deal that went wrong. In November 2017 two men from Fort Worth — Kyle Mathis Otey and Shailen Alexander Chowdhury, both 20 — were charged with capital murder of multiple persons. Authorities reported that Lemus and Ramirez had planned to rob Chowdhury during the transaction, and that Otey and Chowdhury had been searching for someone who had earlier robbed Chowdhury; officers say the group was armed. Investigators examined surveillance footage and phone records, using Ramirez’s phone to trace communications linking the victims and Chowdhury.

No further operational details were released by police out of respect for the families. Does anyone have information about activity near Crescent Springs Ranch on August 5, 2017, or the parties involved that could help clarify what happened?
