On Thanksgiving night, November 28, 2024, gunfire was reported around 9:45 p.m. near an apartment complex in the 2800 block of Broadmoor Drive in Fort Worth, Texas. Officers found three men with gunshot wounds. Twenty-three-year-old J’Tavian Howard was transported to a hospital and later died of his injuries. Eighteen-year-old Javon Gayton was pronounced dead at the scene; a third victim was hospitalized in critical condition.

Howard was born April 14, 2001, in Davenport, Iowa. He worked as a general contractor and handyman and was remembered by family and friends as outgoing, loving, and active in fishing, gaming, and sports. Police say two suspects approached a victim sitting in a vehicle and an exchange of gunfire followed, killing Howard and Gayton and critically wounding the third man. Arrests were reported on December 17, 2024: 20-year-old Paige Wheaton and 17-year-old Tai Sanders were charged with capital murder in connection with the deaths.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or remember seeing activity near Broadmoor Drive that night?
