Arlington Police Arrest 5 on Capital Murder Charges in 2024 Double Homicide

Arlington police have arrested and charged five suspects with capital murder in connection to a double homicide that occurred in November 2024 at a short-term rental near AT&T Stadium. The victims, 19-year-old Jaqual Dayton Allen and 18-year-old Alexis Tyler, were shot multiple times inside the apartment during what was believed to be a targeted attack possibly related to a feud over money. The suspects, ranging in age from 18 to 26, were apprehended by a combination of Arlington police SWAT, U.S. Marshals, and Dallas police, with one already in custody on unrelated charges. Surveillance footage and cell phone records helped tie the suspects to the crime, showing them arriving at the scene and leaving together shortly after the shooting. Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing a group flee the scene, emphasizing the event's sudden and violent nature in an otherwise safe neighborhood. All suspects face $1 million bail on capital murder charges, with additional charges pending for some individuals.
