Brian Cason Pence, 52, was killed in a mistaken drive-by shooting at his home on Stonybrooke Drive in North Richland Hills, Texas. On the night of November 27, 2024, a vehicle stopped in the street and its occupants fired multiple handgun rounds at the house; one round penetrated a window and struck Mr. Pence while he slept. He was taken to a local medical facility and later died of his injuries.

Police arrested three suspects in the days after the shooting: 19-year-old Anthony Zapata and 18-year-old Martin Marquez Diaz were arrested by November 30, and 17-year-old Alexander Ortega was stopped and taken into custody December 1. All three have been charged with first-degree murder. Investigators say the suspects had no connection to Mr. Pence and intended to target a nearby residence as part of a juvenile feud, making his death a tragic case of the wrong address being hit. Neighbors reported being shaken; police increased patrols and announced they believe everyone involved is now in custody.

Funeral services for Mr. Pence were held December 6 and 7, 2024, at Lucas Funeral Home in Hurst and at St. Peter & St. Paul Anglican Church in Arlington. Did anyone in the area notice suspicious vehicles or activity on Stonybrooke Drive that night?
