Alvin Ray Sweet, 17, of Watauga, Texas, was shot and later died after being found slumped over the wheel of a black Honda in North Richland Hills on April 29, 2025. He had gunshot wounds to his left calf and torso, was taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead. Investigators believe the shooting happened in Walker’s Creek Park; Alvin then drove across a creek bed and crashed into a parked car 16 seconds after gunfire began.

Authorities arrested multiple suspects: 17-year-old Ziquarius Taveon Burnette of North Richland Hills, 18-year-old Oscar Macias of Haltom City, 17-year-old Zackary Daniel Garza of North Richland Hills, and an additional juvenile whose identity and charges were not released. Arrest affidavits allege Alvin was involved in drug dealings with the suspects that night and that one suspect admitted an intent to rob him but said they did not plan to shoot.

Alvin’s family described him as someone who loved basketball, gaming, outdoor adventures and trying new foods; funeral services were held at Forest Ridge Funeral Home with a graveside ceremony at Smithfield Cemetery. Does anyone have information about Alvin’s movements at Walker’s Creek Park that night or the people he was with?
