Deaudwin Joe Hollie, 29, was fatally shot outside the Walmart in the 3800 block of Airport Freeway in north Fort Worth on the evening of May 10, 2023, at about 9:45 p.m. Police say the shooting followed a domestic altercation with a family member in the store parking lot; the suspect and another person fled the scene in a vehicle immediately afterward. Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene and recalled seeing Hollie lying motionless in the dimly lit area between the Walmart and a nearby McDonald’s.

Family members say Hollie was a father of two with another child on the way and had been working to turn his life around, focusing on family and business. Relatives held a candlelight vigil on May 21, 2023, at William McDonald Park to remember him. The family believes they know the suspect’s identity and allege he is a cousin Hollie was trying to help; no arrests have been announced and Fort Worth homicide detectives continue to investigate.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, the suspect vehicle leaving the scene, or has information about the relationship between Hollie and the family member involved, please come forward.
