On July 4, 2024, 39-year-old makeup artist and Slay by Shae owner Tasha Hymond was shot while attending a block party near Castleman Street and Comanche Street in Fort Worth. The celebration, attended by an estimated 200 to 300 people, became chaotic after attendees performed car stunts and set off fireworks toward nearby homes. Gunfire erupted and Hymond was struck in the chest and arm. She was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital and pronounced dead.

Another victim, 19-year-old Marcus Martin Jr. of San Diego, California, was shot in the back and also died. At least two others suffered injuries and were hospitalized with expected recoveries. Fort Worth police initially said multiple shooters fired into the crowd. On July 18, 2024, authorities arrested 21-year-old Toderick Rogers on capital murder charges; police allege he fired into the crowd, killing Hymond and Martin, and the investigation remained active as officials sought any additional suspects. Hymond was remembered locally as a well-known makeup artist with more than 1,000 clients; a wake and balloon release were held in her honor.

If anyone attended that block party or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
