TreyShawn Eunes was 12 when he was fatally shot on June 19, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas. He was at a Juneteenth barbecue with his father inside a music studio in a strip mall on Brentwood Stair Road. While playing video games, a 3-year-old found an unsecured, loaded handgun and the weapon was accidentally discharged, striking TreyShawn. He was taken to Cook Children’s Medical Center by his father and died shortly after arrival.

Surveillance footage captured 35-year-old Decarlos Jordan entering the room after the shooting, removing the handgun, mopping up blood inside and outside the building, and taking a rifle before leaving. Jordan was arrested on charges of tampering with and fabricating physical evidence. TreyShawn’s mother, LaKesha Bay, has urged accountability and stressed that secure firearm storage such as gun safes and holsters could have prevented her son’s death. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are possible.

If anyone at the gathering or with information about the studio or the firearms involved can help, please come forward.
