Chaz Gilley, an 18-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas, was shot and killed on October 7, 2016, while riding his bicycle home from Walmart after cashing his paycheck. According to an arrest warrant, two men followed him, knocked him off his bike, chased him and shot him multiple times. He was taken to hospital but died of his injuries.

The investigation led to arrests: Lajerrian Morgan and James Murphy were charged with capital murder, and at least one trial was scheduled but experienced several delays. Family members, including Chaz’s mother Chesala Markham, have been publicly determined to see the suspects held accountable and sought the death penalty. A separate defendant, Naficy Baker, was later found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life without parole.

Reports say the suspects were reportedly laughing and bragging about the killing shortly after it happened. If anyone knew Chaz, his movements that evening, or saw anyone following him near Walmart on October 7, 2016, please come forward with information.
