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 that Prince 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.
Video surveillance cameras captured the three suspects circling the neighborhood in a maroon four-door sedan for 30 minutes prior to the shooting, according to an arrest warrant for Lampkin.
Horton was driving the red sedan at the time of the shooting, and was found to have been an associate of Lampkin’s in a past Fort Worth police report, investigators said. Clark is seen on surveillance footage firing a gun into the house, with a second muzzle flash seen to the right of his position, outside of the camera’s field of view, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. Detectives believe that Lampkin was the second shooter.
Police do not believe Horton would have had time to get out of the car and fire a weapon, according to the warrant.
Horton later returned Clark and Lampkin to a home on Novella Drive where Clark was known to occasionally stay, police wrote in the affidavit. SWAT teams later raided the residence on the afternoon of April 2, but did not find any of the three suspects inside.
Surveillance footage shows a resident of the house possibly warning the three suspects to escape out of the back before SWAT teams arrived, police wrote in the affidavit.
The affidavit did not list a possible motive for the shooting.
“He was outgoing and loved everybody,” Prince’s mother, Mary Blankenship, said of her son 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.
