Texas Air Force Recruit Killed Jet Ski Hit-and-Run Suspect Arrested

Ava Moore, an 18-year-old Texas native and recent graduate of Fort Worth Timber Creek High School, tragically died after being struck by a jet ski while kayaking on Grapevine Lake during Memorial Day weekend. Moore had just completed her first year at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School and was remembered for her leadership, athletic talent, and positive impact on her community. The jet ski operator, Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez, fled the scene with a male passenger, who drove a car that subsequently struck another vehicle during their escape. Gonzalez was later arrested, while the male driver remains at large and is wanted for questioning. Authorities from multiple agencies, including Texas Game Wardens and Grapevine Police, are investigating both the water accident and related hit-and-run incident. Ava’s family has received community support, including a GoFundMe campaign, as they mourn the loss of a promising young life cut short.
