Alex DeAnthony Craig was a 19-year-old African American man who died on May 17, 2014, in Fort Worth, Texas. Initial reports described unclear circumstances that prompted a police investigation. That inquiry concluded his death resulted from a violent altercation that escalated into a targeted attack rather than a random act.

Witnesses said a group fled the scene after the assault, and investigators identified multiple suspects. A 20-year-old man was arrested and charged with murder; prosecutors alleged the attack grew out of a personal dispute and presented evidence of premeditation, resulting in a first-degree murder conviction. Two others were later arrested and convicted on accessory to murder charges.

Alex’s family filed a civil wrongful death lawsuit against the suspects; that case was settled out of court. The Fort Worth community held vigils and memorials in his memory.
