On October 3, 2024, 29-year-old Kinte Johnson was fatally shot in Fort Worth, Texas while leaving a block party. Johnson and 23-year-old De’Kiah Montgomery were both wounded as they departed; they managed to get into a vehicle but crashed near U.S. 287 and Mitchell Boulevard. Johnson, shot in the torso, was found dead in the vehicle on Wesleyan Drive South. Montgomery was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital and later died on October 13, 2024.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled both deaths homicides. The Fort Worth Police Department opened an investigation and as of November 9, 2024 had not announced any arrests or identified suspects or persons of interest. The motive remains unclear and detectives are asking the public for information. Johnson is described as a business owner who ran K&S Lawn Service, Kinte&Kei’Erica Kennel and K&S Pressure Washing Services; Montgomery was remembered by family as a gentle giant devoted to his nieces.

Did anyone who attended that block party or who was in the area near U.S. 287 and Mitchell Boulevard see anything that could help investigators?
