Sloane Powell, a 27-year-old white woman, was shot and killed on January 17, 1994, as she was leaving a convenience store at 4344 E. Lancaster Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas. The shooting happened in broad daylight during what investigators described as an apparent robbery; the assailant fled immediately after the attack.

Shortly after Powell’s murder, a man was shot during a robbery at a nearby apartment complex on Meadowbrook Drive and survived. Because of the proximity and timing, investigators considered the two incidents possibly connected. Despite ongoing review by the Fort Worth Police Department, no arrests were made and no suspects were publicly identified; the case was later treated as a cold case.

Sloane’s family and the community held vigils and memorials while the investigation waited for new evidence or witnesses that might break the case. If anyone has information about the convenience store shooting or the Meadowbrook Drive robbery, can you come forward to help bring answers to Sloane’s family?
