On November 23, 2024, 19-year-old Dayton Jaqual Allen was fatally shot inside a short-term rental apartment in Arlington, Texas, near AT&T Stadium. Allen, who went by Day Day, had rented the unit to celebrate his 20th birthday the next day. An 18-year-old, Alexis Johniyah Tyler, was also killed; both victims were found in the living room with multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses heard gunfire and saw a group flee in a white sedan. Police say robbery has been ruled out and believe the suspect or suspects were acquainted with the victims. Multiple shell casings were recovered and investigators are seeking nearby surveillance footage. No arrests have been announced.

Allen was a Shreveport, Louisiana resident who had moved to Texas and enjoyed rap music and basketball; his family described him as a ray of sunshine. If anyone has information about the shooting or the white sedan, contact Arlington police.
