What’s new:<\/p>\n
According to Tarrant County District Attorney Phil Sorrells, 31-year-old Larry Reed pleaded guilty to capital murder and was recently sentenced to life in prison.<\/p>\n
What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
“Thanks to the Arlington Police Department for their work on this case and for their commitment to keeping our community safe,” Sorrells said.<\/p>\n
Triple Murder <\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
Reed was arrested on Feb. 6, 2024 by U.S. Marshals in Greenville, Mississippi.<\/p>\n
He was accused of killing 29-year-old Shannen Jones, 29-year-old Monique Smith, and 31-year-old Dreyon Glenn at an Arlington apartment complex on Jan. 25, 2024.<\/p>\n
That was just six weeks after he was released from a state prison after serving time for a previous murder.<\/p>\n
Dig deeper:<\/p>\n
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, a witness identified Reed, who also went by the name “Crip.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The witness told police that Reed and Glenn knew each other, and that high-risk drug activity may have been involved.<\/p>\n
Police believe Reed first shot Glenn and then continued to fire at others in the apartment. Two children who were there at the time were not hurt.<\/p>\n
