On December 29, 2024, at about 3:20 PM officers responded to a shots fired call on the 2200 block of Fairfax Drive in South Irving. Responding crews found 36-year-old Jessica Reecie Thomas suffering from gunshot wounds; she was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital and later died. Authorities have ruled her death a homicide.

Later that afternoon police arrested 22-year-old Alexis Martin, a white female and Nimitz High School graduate, who lived in the same house as Thomas. Martin was booked into the Irving Jail at 4:38 PM and charged with murder; she was transferred to the Dallas County Jail the next day. Bond was set at $1 million and is on hold pending fitting of an electronic leg monitor.

No motive or information about additional suspects has been released. Does anyone with knowledge of Fairfax Drive or the people involved have information that could help the investigation?
