Fort Worth Airbnb party gang shooting suspect found asleep in car with brother at park
One of three suspects in a shooting in January in Fort Worth was arrested on Monday after he was found sleeping in a car at a park in White Settlement, police said.
Colin Williams, 17, was wanted in connection with an eruption of gunfire at a house party in which 18-year-old Daequon Macon was shot to death. Three other people were shot and survived.
The other suspects, Kevin Desdunes and Nicholas Gulley, are members of the street gang 300 Mafia OTMB, according to the Tarrant County Criminal District’s Attorney Office.
Desdunes and Gulley, both 22, have been charged with engaging in organized criminal activity in the case. Williams was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and deadly conduct.
Macon was slain on Jan. 16 at a birthday party at a house in the 4200 block of Glen Abbey Drive, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
A woman told police that she and Macon were celebrating her birthday at a nightclub when they ran into Desdunes and another man, according to an affidavit supporting Desdunes’ arrest. Desdunes is known as “Killa.”
The woman and Desdunes have known each another for about five years, she told police. The woman later invited Desdunes to the house for a party and within 20 seconds of his arrival, heard gunshots.
When police interviewed Desdunes, who was found at a hospital later in the morning of the homicide with a gunshot wound to the head, he denied being inside the house at the time of the shooting and told an officer that he was at the house for under five minutes and had left out of boredom. He told police that as he and his friends were leaving the party, they heard gunshots and that shots were being fired at their vehicle, according to the affidavit.
A White Settlement police officer patrolling outside the closed park in the 8900 block of Gibbs Drive saw the parked car. While shining his flashlight inside the car about 1 a.m., the officer saw handguns and marijuana in plain view, police said.
Williams’ brother, Dion Williams, 18, also was in the car and was arrested.
The department released a dashboard camera recording of the arrests.
