Justin Sharp was a 16-year-old student at Waco High School who was killed during a pre-arranged street fight on the afternoon of March 28, 2023, in the 3300 block of Brookview Drive near S.J. Guthrie Park. Two groups of juveniles, at least 10 people in all, had gathered for the fight. Responding officers arrived about 1:30 p.m. and found Justin with a severe gunshot wound; life-saving measures were performed but he was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Investigators recovered a firearm and shell casings at the scene. A 15-year-old male was arrested April 18, 2023, and initially charged with murder. Prosecutors later said video of the fight showed Justin had aimed a gun at another boy’s head and that the 15-year-old shot to defend that person. The murder charge was reduced to rioting; all surviving participants were charged with rioting. The 15-year-old pleaded true to delinquent conduct/rioting, was adjudicated guilty, and received two years probation plus placement in the county juvenile intensive supervision program, psychological counseling, and a gang intervention program.
