Richard Myles, a 27-year-old male from Lewisville, Texas, was tragically shot to death inside his apartment on East Southwest Parkway on April 7, 2015. Myles' 2-year-old son was also found inside the apartment, uninjured, and was taken into custody by Child Protective Services before being released to family members. The investigation revealed that two suspects, Adrian Quigley and Demico Stanley, entered Myles' apartment shortly before gunshots were fired.
Myles was killed, and Quigley was injured during the incident.
Adrian Quigley, a 23-year-old documented member of the Crips gang, turned himself in to the police the following day. Demico Stanley, a 22-year-old also linked to the Crips gang, fled to Louisiana but was later arrested and awaited extradition back to Lewisville. The incident was believed to have been over a drug deal, and capital murder warrants were issued based on the fact that the fatal shooting occurred during the commission of a robbery.
The case involved multiple arrests and legal proceedings. Quigley remained in custody on a capital murder charge, while Stanley faced charges and was awaiting trial. The investigation was extensive, involving cooperation between local and state law enforcement agencies.
The tragic death of Richard Myles and the subsequent legal actions against the suspects highlighted the severe consequences of gang-related violence and the impact on families and communities.
