Ladavian Kaliq Pearson, age 26, a man from North Texas, died on July 10, 2025, in Euless during an exchange of gunfire with police who were attempting to stop and arrest him in connection with a homicide investigation that began the day before in Plano. According to police accounts, officers had been alerted around midday that a vehicle tied to the suspect had entered Euless; a marked unit followed it into an apartment complex off the 1200 block of Fuller Wiser Road, where the encounter
escalated when the driver fired at an officer. Police returned fire, killing Ladavian Kaliq Pearson at the scene; no officers or bystanders were injured.
Investigators said the attempted arrest stemmed from a murder warrant out of Plano issued after a woman was found dead inside a luxury apartment near Legacy West on Water Street on July 9. Authorities later identified the victim as 24-year-old Hammta Shafiye-Mogadam of Bedford and confirmed she and the suspect knew each other. Police reports and local coverage indicate the initial welfare check at the Plano apartment led to the discovery of her body; by then, the suspect had left the scene. As the regional search unfolded, Euless officers were notified when the suspect crossed into their city, culminating in the fatal stop the next day.
Public records and memorial notices list Ladavian Kaliq Pearson's death in Euless on July 10, 2025, at age 26.
