Devin Isaiah James Angel, an 18-year-old Black / African American male described by loved ones as amazing, caring, and funny, had his life cut short by gun violence in the summer of 2021. He was from Crowley, Texas.
On the evening of Saturday, June 5, 2021, Tarrant County Sheriff's deputies were called to a shooting in the 4100 block of Great Belt Drive in a southern part of the county. Arriving at approximately 8:47 p.m., they found Devin with a gunshot wound to the head. He was rushed to a local hospital, but he did not survive his injuries and was pronounced dead.
The investigation into the homicide moved quickly. The very next day, on June 6, 2021, authorities arrested 17-year-old Enrique Mascorro in connection with Devin’s death. He was charged with murder and booked into the county jail, where he was held on a $150,000 bond. At the time of the arrest, officials did not release a possible motive for the shooting.
The case has since been resolved through the court system. For his role in the fatal shooting, Enrique Mascorro was sentenced to serve 10 years in prison. With the conclusion of the legal proceedings, the case is now considered closed.
