On July 12, 2024, 19-year-old mother of two Zenri McGee was fatally shot at the Clarion Inn & Suites DFW North in Irving, Texas. Police responded to multiple noise complaints about 8:50 p.m. and found McGee critically injured from gunshot wounds; she was taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Grapevine and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

According to police reports, the incident began as a physical altercation in a hotel room involving McGee, another woman, and 30-year-old Cedric Campbell. Officers say Campbell forced McGee to her knees, put her in a chokehold from behind, then shot her in the chest. Campbell allegedly also pointed the gun at the other woman but did not fire. He fled on foot but was found hiding in a nearby drainage ditch and arrested; he faces murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges.

McGee’s family is mourning her loss; her sister Breanna Bettis described her dedication to her two young sons, ages 1 and 3, and has started a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses and support the children. Does anyone have information about what happened at the hotel that night or knew Zenri and her family?
