Khrystophir Scott, 27, was killed during an armed robbery at a Quik Sac convenience store on South Cherry Lane in White Settlement on January 27, 2017. Two masked, armed men entered the store, ordered the clerk to give them money and told customers to get down. Scott intervened and struggled with one of the gunmen; he was shot and later died at a hospital that day.

Detectives initially faced hurdles because the suspects wore masks and no usable video evidence was available. Months into the probe they identified 23-year-old Burnches Markish Mitchell of Garland as a suspect; he was arrested and charged with capital murder on April 11, 2017, and held on a $1,000,000 bond. An appeal involving the 372nd District Court of Tarrant County was later heard by the Texas Court of Appeals, Seventh District.

Anyone who knew Scott, who was at the store that night, or who has information about the robbery is asked to come forward.
