Yago Santain Fountain, a 43-year-old African American male, was tragically shot and killed on February 3, 2020, in Arlington, Texas. Fountain, originally from Tallulah, Louisiana, was visiting North Texas at the time of his death. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. in the 2500 block of Sunflower Drive. According to police reports, Fountain was approached by three Black males as he was getting into his vehicle. The assailants demanded money from Fountain before shooting him multiple times.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Arlington Police Department has been actively investigating the case. Surveillance footage from a nearby home captured three males in the area shortly before the shooting, matching the descriptions provided by witnesses. Despite the efforts of the police, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been identified. The police believe that Fountain may have known his attackers, suggesting that the incident was not a random act of violence.
In the year following Fountain's death, the Arlington Police Department renewed their call for public assistance in identifying the suspects. They released images taken from the surveillance footage, hoping that someone might recognize the individuals involved. The police have focused on one man seen wearing a distinctive long-sleeved shirt, as it has unique markings that could help in identifying him. The investigation remains ongoing, with the police urging anyone with information to come forward.
Fountain's death has left a significant impact on his family and friends, who continue to seek justice for their loved one. The Arlington Police Department remains committed to solving the case and bringing those responsible to justice. Despite the lack of arrests or identified suspects, the investigation continues, and the police are hopeful that new information will eventually lead to a breakthrough in the case.
