On May 29, 2023, 15-year-old Xavier Hullaby was fatally shot at the Arwen Apartments in Fort Worth, Texas. The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. as Hullaby was returning home from a boxing session, a hobby he had recently taken up. He was shot multiple times in the breezeway near his apartment and was pronounced dead at the scene.
In the months following the shooting, Fort Worth police arrested four individuals in connection with Hullaby's death.
The first arrest was made in September 2023, when 18-year-old Dwayne Gould was charged with murder. He was indicted on November 29, 2023, and held in the Tarrant County Jail on a $175,000 bond.
Subsequent arrests included 20-year-old Tyron Quinn and 21-year-old Tedarius McGruder, both indicted on murder charges on November 29, 2023, and May 9, 2024, respectively. Each was held in the Tarrant County Jail with bonds set at $1 million. The most recent arrest occurred on October 30, 2024, when 17-year-old Kelvin Thompson was booked into the Fort Worth City Jail on a murder charge related to Hullaby's death.
Despite these arrests, the investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not disclosed specific details regarding the motive or the exact circumstances leading to Hullaby's death. The arrests have provided some measure of relief to Hullaby's family, who have been seeking justice for their son's untimely death. However, they continue to await further information as the legal process unfolds.
