Ariel Bryce Levy, 28, of Fort Worth, Texas, was found dead in her apartment on March 10, 2025, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound. Originally from Dallas, family and friends described her as kind and wonderful; they say her sudden, violent death has left them devastated.

Investigators focused on Levy’s boyfriend and roommate, 30-year-old Dylan McLean Jones. Police say Jones went to a friend’s house in distress saying he had blacked out and thought he might have harmed his roommate; the friend reported dried blood under Jones’ fingernails and called law enforcement. Jones fled the residence before officers arrived.

Later that evening officers tried to stop a vehicle driven by Jones, which was Levy’s black SUV. Jones led police on a nearly 38-minute high-speed chase through Fort Worth and nearby areas, running red lights, driving on the wrong side of the road and reaching about 90 miles per hour before being arrested in Hurst. Authorities charged Jones with capital murder and evading arrest and recovered a handgun that matched shell casings found near Levy’s body. The case remains under investigation.

Did anyone in the Fort Worth area know Ariel, Jones, or have information about that March 10 evening?
