The suspect was charged with murder after a 17-year-old girl was shot and killed last month.
FORT WORTH, Texas — Fort Worth police have arrested and charged an 18-year-old suspect in the shooting death of a 17-year-old girl last month at Stop Six Park.
Police have confirmed that Ricco Henderson was arrested Friday in connection with the death of Cyanna Boone, one of two people shot and killed there on Dec. 29.
Tarrant County Jail records show Henderson was booked into the Lon Evans Corrections Center on Jan. 17. No bond has been set at this time.
Fort Worth police said officers responded to gunfire on Monday, Dec. 29, at Historic Stop Six Park. Investigators said a bullet struck and killed Boone. Officers also found a second victim, identified as 18-year-old Frank Price Jr., who later died at the hospital. Police said the shooter fled the scene and has not been arrested.
“You hit somebody that wasn’t your target. You took something from a family that really loves somebody,” Chante Williams, Boone’s mother said to WFAA. “Cyanna is like a green person. She loved trees. She’s just a friendly person, always with a positive vibe. She’s the friend they always call and ask for her advice. She liked to read. A smart kid, very smart kid, very intelligent and wise beyond her age.”
According to police, detectives found a group between 15 and 20 people met at Historic Stop Six Park, where they were having words with each other. A physical altercation reportedly broke out, and then an unknown suspect reportedly began shooting at the victims.
“She’s in the 12th grade,” Dianna Wilson, Boone’s great-great aunt, told WFAA last month. “Her mother called me and said her daughter had been shot. When we got here, her daughter was on the ground dead.”
