Third suspect arrested in drive-by shooting that killed 15-year-old boy

Fort Worth police have arrested a third suspect in the April 2 drive-by killing of a 15-year-old boy, according to online arrest records.

Todaireyun Clark, 17, faces a murder charge in connection to the death of Prince Washington, whose father told the Star-Telegram he loved basketball and planned to be an NBA star.

Two other suspects, 20-year-old Cesar Horton and 19-year-old Kamron Lampkin, were booked earlier this week and face murder charges in Washington’s death.

Police did not immediately release arrest warrant affidavits in the case.

“He was outgoing and loved everybody,” Prince’s mother, Mary Blankenship, said at a balloon release earlier this month. “Anybody. Everybody. Doesn’t matter who you are, what color you are, didn’t matter.”

But more than anything else, Blankenship said her son was not a violent person.

“He stayed away from it, and it came to him,” Blankenship said.
