A family outing to a Fort Worth fireworks display ended in tragedy on July 4, 2024. Around 11:40 p.m. at the Crystal Clean Car Wash on West Cleburne Road, a gunman opened fire as people were leaving the event. Four-year-old Ivy Pierce was one of three people killed; her 1-year-old sister Wynter Thouston and 42-year-old Terrell Winn also died. Two other people were injured.

Court documents say 26-year-old Kanard Trent Murphy had a confrontation with another attendee, set his infant child down, went to his vehicle, retrieved a rifle, and began shooting. Ivy, Wynter and the other victims are described as innocent bystanders who were not involved in the dispute. Ivy’s mother attempted CPR but was unable to save her daughters. Family members later held a balloon release in memory of the girls, who were remembered as joyful and full of happiness.

If anyone was at the car wash that night or has information about the shooting, please share what was seen or heard.
