Tai’Lynn Akaya Wright, 22, was killed in an apparent drive-by-style shooting at her home on the 1900 block of Monte Carlo Lane in Killeen. In the early morning hours of November 26, 2025, police responding to reports of gunfire found Wright unconscious and a 26-year-old man also shot; medics pronounced Wright dead at 2:47 a.m., and the man was treated at a Temple hospital for nonlife-threatening wounds and released. A justice of the peace ordered an autopsy at the Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences to document Wright’s injuries and determine cause of death.

Investigators say the shots were fired from outside the residence and struck the occupants inside, and the incident has been described by police as isolated. Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Division were actively working the case, but as of late November 2025 no suspect had been identified publicly and no arrests were announced.

If anyone saw or heard suspicious activity near Monte Carlo Lane that night, what can you share with detectives?
