Father of five killed while on break from job by Hispanic man who was on a flight layover

[OG Talk]

Rest in peace, Lee Douglas.

Devan Mederios deserves the electric chair.

This is sad.

But why was he on a layover at the airport and all the way way in Forth Worth at a warehouse?

What kind of layover was this and how/why did he leave the airport anyway?

This is so weird and so sad

Also there's no way he had a gun with him on his previous flight. This sounds like a hit.

Damn that’s two fukked up killings I read about today.

this is from the gofundme

As he clocked out for a break around 2:30am, a random individual was on the property at Refresco in Fort Worth, Texas. Lee assumed it was someone who could've worked there. As he walked past the individual to head to his vehicle, the man shot him in the back. Lee fell to the ground and as he turned over and put his hands up he was shot again in the mouth.

Fort Worth man dies in hospital after ‘random shooting’ outside his workplace, police say
By Amy McDaniel and Nicole Lopez Updated June 13, 2024 3:35 PM


A Fort Worth man died in the hospital this week after he was shot in what police believe was a random attack while he walking to his car outside his workplace. Lee Douglas, 36, had been hospitalized since the shooting on May 30. He died Tuesday at John Peter Smith Hospital. A suspect, 18-year-old Decan Medeiros, of Kettle Falls, Washington, was initially arrested May 31 on four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Medeiros was booked Thursday on a murder charge after Douglas’ death, according to Fort Worth City Jail records.

“This appears to be a random shooting from a person not from Texas who was just passing through,” a Fort Worth police spokesperson said in an email Thursday. Douglas, who worked at Refresco Beverages at 15200 Trinity Blvd., was walking to his car when he was shot about 2:30 a.m. He was shot first in the back then again in the face after he fell to the ground, according to his family and an autopsy.

The shooting left him paralyzed from the waist down. Police initially said they believed his injuries weren’t life threatening, but he died of complications from the gunshot wounds, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. A police report lists a second 36-year-old man as an additional victim in the case. It’s unclear whether he was also shot.

While he was walking toward his car after clocking out for a break, Douglas noticed Medeiros but assumed he might have been another employee, his family wrote on a GoFundMe page. As Douglas walked past, the gunman shot him in the back, the family said. When he fell, Douglas turned over and put his hands up, and the suspect shot him a second time in the mouth, where a bullet became lodged, the family wrote.

“Lee is a father to a total of 5 children: 3 girls and 2 boys,” the family wrote. “His oldest daughter just graduated high school and is heading off to the Navy soon. He also has a 13-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son who are in school, and a 2-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son.” The GoFundMe, initially started for medical expenses, is now raising donations for funeral expenses.

Douglas, a native of Kansas City, Missouri, moved to Fort Worth to find a better life for his kids, his sister Aushalay Meadows told the Star-Telegram on Thursday. A mechanic, Douglas loved to work with his hands and he was in the process of starting a business with his family. Now, his loved ones are experiencing a difficult time coping with their loss.

“We’ve got a lot of things to figure out right now,” Meadows said. The victim’s sister told the Star-Telegram that the family began investigating on their own because police have not provided them with more information. Although Fort Worth police say they are not investigating the shooting as a hate crime, Meadows and her family believe that’s what Douglas’ death reflected.

“We definitely want to get down to the bottom of it,” Meadows said. “I wanna know what the motive is. Like I just don’t understand how you just walk up to somebody and shoot them.” Meadows says police should also determine if the suspect has ties to shootings or other crimes in other states, considering investigators said he was passing through the Fort Worth area from Washington. “You just go to another state and just shoot people,” Meadows said. “That’s crazy work to do.”

This should be classified as a Hate Crime. Black People need an Anti-Crime Bill

Thx. I’m glad they called it out bc per the original news story the killer’s family is playing dumb.

36-year old Forth Worth father of five, Lee Douglas, was on a break from his overnight electrician job at a warehouse. He walks to his car and gets ambushed and shot. Killer is 18 year old Hispanic man Devan Mederios from Washington state who was on a flight layover at DFW airport. He had zero ties to the victim or area.

This whole shyt doesn’t make sense and feels racially motivated.

Fort Worth is only about 25+ minutes from the airport.
He just walked out and probably caught an Uber or knows people down here and got a gun.

Assuming you have a clean background, you can be in and out of a store in ~30 minutes.

Not to say that he didn't know someone in the Ft Worth area. It does seem weird to ve completely random.
