On Friday, January 30, 2026 at 3:03 p.m., the White Settlement Police Department responded to a shooting in the 600 block of Meadow Park Drive. Initial call details relayed to our responding officers indicated an adult woman was shot with multiple suspects described as male teens or young adults fleeing the scene on foot. Due to the proximity of the shooting scene to local daycares, an elementary school, and middle school, the department requested a secure lockdown of all exterior doors at these facilities out of an abundance of caution.
As officers arrived on scene, they located an adult woman in her 30s with multiple apparent gunshot wounds. The woman was transported to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. Investigators determined that two to three males, described as being late teens or young adults, were last seen running from the home westbound on Wyatt Drive. It is believed the suspects are no longer in the immediate area.
The suspects appear to have been wearing dark-colored clothing, black hooded-sweatshirts that were pulled over the top of their heads, and black face coverings. It is believed the suspects entered the home through a door on the south side of the residence. As the suspects were trying to flee from inside the residence, one suspect, while standing outside, started to turn towards the adult woman and point a handgun at her. The suspect then discharged the handgun multiple times, striking the woman who was still inside the home while the door was open.
The department is releasing some still photographs of the shooting suspects. Anyone with information is asked to contact WSPD Sergeant Steven Person at 817-246-7070 Ext. 419. Tipsters can also remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of those responsible (817-469-TIPS).
