ARLINGTON, Texas — Two women have been arrested and charged with murder after a man was shot and killed outside of an Arlington restaurant Monday afternoon, the Arlington Police Department (APD) said.
APD said 29-year-old Tamyiah Williams and 23-year-old Chanel Sherrod were taken into custody by members of the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force late Monday night.
APD said officers responded to a shooting just before 4:45 p.m. in the parking lot of Lisa's Chicken in the 1600 block of W. Division Street.
When they arrived, police said officers found a 30-year-old man lying on the ground with an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the him once next of kin have been notified.
Witnesses told officers that the victim's ex-girlfriend, Williams, went to the location to pick up the child she shares with the victim. During the exchange, the two got into an argument.
A short time later, surveillance video shows Sherrod, who drove Williams to the restaurant, exiting her car and getting into a physical fight with the victim.
While Sherrod and the victim were fighting, Williams is seen displaying a handgun and then shooting the victim, police said.
Police said Williams and Sherrod then returned to the car and drove away from the scene.
Police said following their arrest, Williams and Sherrod were booked into the Arlington City jail on one count of murder.
Police said the child was unharmed and is now in the care of family members.
