On Wednesday, July 21, 2021, Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office and Kaufman County Constable, Precinct 2, responded to a call reporting a shooting in the Travis Ranch community, located northwest of the City of Forney. At approximately 4:45pm, law enforcement officers arrived to find a deceased male on San Antonio Drive who was later identified as 34-year-old Jeremy Carter of Mesquite. Following the release of several photos and videos of persons of interest in the investigation, two men surrendered to Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office Saturday morning. Antonio Dewayne Bowens, 17, and Markuevis Bowens, 20, were arrested after turning themselves in and were subsequently charged with murder. Bonds for both men have been set at $1,000,000 each. Korwin Brown, 18, was also arrested on July 26 in connection with the shooting and charged with murder. At the time of press, bond had not been set.
Only four days following the shooting in Travis Ranch, officers responded to another call in the area on July 25th, a reported stabbing in the nearby Clements Ranch neighborhood. Around 1:00am Sunday morning, authorities arrived on San Marcos Drive to find the victim in the front yard, a 40-year-old male who was pronounced deceased. Thirty-eight-year-old Charles Turner, the suspect who was reported to have remained on the scene when the initial call to authorities was placed, was arrested that day in connection with the crime and charged with murder. At the time of press, the victim’s identity had not been released by authorities.
