Alex Ryan Sanchez, 20, was found dead in the street on February 29, 2016, in the 6100 block of Fern Meadow Road in Arlington, Texas, with an apparent gunshot wound. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner identified him.

Witnesses told police that Alex and two others had gone to Fern Meadow Road to buy drugs from a person known as Rambo. During the transaction Alex was allegedly shot by Rambo, reportedly over a previous drug deal that had gone bad; the two companions fled the scene in a car. The Arlington Police Department, with help from the Irving Police Department, arrested 21-year-old Taajon Jabri Richardson and charged him with murder; Richardson was held in the Irving Jail on a $250,000 bond. The arrest warrant affidavit linked the shooting to a drug deal dispute.

The community expressed grief and called for justice as investigators continued to work the case. If anyone knew Alex, was present that night, or has information about the meeting on Fern Meadow Road, please come forward.
