On May 18, 2024, at about 3:00 a.m., Dallas police responded to a shooting at the Broadstone Paragon Apartments on the 2400 block of N. Washington Avenue. Officers found sisters 24-year-old Amaya Lockett and 22-year-old Jalisa Lockett dead from gunshot wounds. A third victim, Moises Flores, survived gunshot injuries and was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

According to the preliminary investigation, the sisters and their boyfriends were together when an argument broke out between Jalisa and her boyfriend, 25-year-old Saadiq Shabazz. Amaya and Moises retreated to a bedroom; gunshots followed. Amaya went to check on her sister and was shot, and Flores was shot after barricading himself and calling 911. Shabazz fled but was later apprehended, admitted to shooting all three and said he acted out of rage. He was charged with capital murder and held on $3 million bond.

Both sisters were young mothers; Jalisa’s 2-year-old daughter was in the apartment and unharmed, and Amaya’s 10-month-old son was with his father. Does anyone have information about the incident or knew Amaya that could help clarify what happened?
