On January 25, 2024, at about 8:30 p.m., officers responded to a shooting at the Chatham Green Village Apartments in Arlington, Texas. They found 29-year-old Shannen Oshay Jones dead in the doorway of an apartment with fatal gunshot wounds. Two other adults in the residence — 29-year-old Monique Elaine Smith and a 31-year-old man — were also shot; the man later died at a hospital. Two young children who had been in the apartment were unharmed and released to family.

Investigators identified 29-year-old Larry Dewayne Reed as the primary suspect. Witnesses described a man dressed in black fleeing the scene, and inquiries indicated Reed may have known at least one of the victims. Reed was arrested February 6, 2024, near Greenville, Mississippi, and was extradited to Texas to face capital murder charges. Authorities said evidence at the apartment pointed to high-risk drug activity as connected to the shooting, though a precise motive remained under scrutiny.

Shannen Jones was remembered by family and friends as a father of two and a mobile barber who had recently obtained his license and often gave free haircuts to children of single parents. Does anyone have information that could help clarify who was present that night or the events leading up to the shooting?
