On the night of July 4, 2024, a shooting at the Crystal Clean Car Wash on West Cleburne Road in Fort Worth, Texas, left 15-month-old Wynter Thouston, her 4-year-old sister Ivy Pierce, and 42-year-old Terrell Winn dead. The incident happened around 11:40 p.m. during a gathering to watch fireworks. Police say 27-year-old Kanard Murphy arrived to see his 11‑month‑old daughter, got into a confrontation with a relative of the child’s mother, then put his daughter in his car, retrieved a rifle and began firing. Shots struck multiple bystanders, including the vehicle where Wynter and Ivy were seated; both children were fatally wounded and pronounced dead shortly after midnight. Their mother, Sharde Mills, performed CPR but was unable to save them.

Terrell Winn was shot in the leg and later died at the hospital. Three other people were wounded and survived. An unknown person shot Murphy in the back during the incident, causing him to drop the rifle; he was hospitalized and, after release, arrested and charged with capital murder of multiple persons and is being held in the Tarrant County Jail. The family, who had recently moved to Fort Worth, held funeral services in Tyler and a balloon release was held in the children’s memory. Does anyone have information about the night at the car wash or saw anything that could help investigators?
