Darius Jamal Brooks, known as DJ, was fatally shot on June 6, 2024 in Fort Worth, Texas. The shooting happened about 11:20 p.m. in the 7200 block of Tin Star Drive near Eagle Mountain. After being shot, Brooks tried to leave the scene by car with several witnesses; that vehicle crashed into a nearby home on Silver City Drive. Brooks died of his injuries and a passenger was hurt and taken to a local hospital.

Investigators say the shooting followed an altercation over narcotics between Brooks and 20-year-old Deandre Casemere. During the confrontation, another person moved to assist Brooks and Casemere drew a handgun and fired multiple times, striking Brooks at least once in the upper body. On June 18, 2024, Casemere was arrested and booked into the Fort Worth City Jail on a murder charge.

Brooks was born January 24, 2005 in North Richland Hills to Elonda Fortune and Edwin Brooks and is remembered by family as a caring, protective son, brother and friend. Does anyone have information about the events on Tin Star Drive that night or the people involved?
