A tragic shooting outside an amusement park in North Richland Hills claims the life of 21-year-old DaShayla Jones, following a dispute over a wristwatch.

As the family prepares for funeral arrangements and a candlelight vigil in her honor, Booker expresses profound grief and concern for his grandson, who witnessed part of the incident. New details continue to emerge, shedding light on the chaos that unfolded that night.
