Logan Thomas Cantrell, 18, was shot to death in Fort Worth during the early morning hours of Sunday, July 20, 2025, after violence broke out at a crowded, advertised house party on the city’s south side. Police were called about 2:30 a.m. to the 7100 block of Avington Way, where officers first encountered a gunshot victim being carried toward the street; that victim, later identified as 19-year-old Emiliano Serna, was pronounced dead at the scene. A short distance away, Cantrell was found inside a vehicle with a gunshot wound to the neck or throat and was also pronounced dead where he was found.

Detectives described two closely linked scenes: the home where a fight preceded the initial shooting, and a nearby street where Cantrell’s vehicle came to a stop. Investigators said the same altercation that led to Serna’s death likely precipitated the subsequent shooting that killed Cantrell, though the exact sequence and motive remained under active review. Police reported the suspected gunman fled on foot and no arrests had been announced while witnesses were being canvassed and evidence processed.

Cantrell’s death left family and friends mourning. Some remembrances and obituary postings listed his date of death as July 21, 2025, reflecting publication timing, but contemporaneous incident reports and victim lists place the shootings on July 20, 2025. If anyone was at the party or on nearby streets that night and has information, please contact Fort Worth police.
