Two teens dead after shooting at Airbnb-style rental in Arlington near entertainment district

Two teenagers died after a shooting at an Airbnb-style rental near the entertainment district Saturday night, according to a news release from Arlington police.

Officers found Alexis Johniyah Tyler, 18, and a 19-year-old man unresponsive in the living room of an apartment around 10:22 p.m., according to the release. The man has not yet been identified.

The man was pronounced dead at the apartment in the 600 block of Slaughter Street and the woman was taken to the hospital where she died.

Witnesses told officers they heard gunshots and then saw a group run from the area and flee in a vehicle, police said. No arrests have been made yet.

Investigators are still searching the area for surveillance footage, evidence and more witnesses, according to the news release. Detectives recovered several bullet casings at the scene.

It does not appear that either victim stole anything and detectives discovered that neither of them lived in the apartment. Police said in the statement that the man rented the apartment over the weekend through a short-term rental site.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Dixon at 817-459-5579 or offer tips anonymously at 817-469-8477.
