First arrest in March for North Texas double murder – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

It has been four months since two mothers were forever linked by the murders of their sons. And still, they say they live in fear and deep sorrow.

“The longer it goes on, the worse it gets. This is not a wound that time will heal. It will never heal,” said one of the mothers, who asked to remain anonymous.

On March 22, 2024, at approximately 9:20 p.m., Dallas police reported that 18-year-old friends Kamari Smith-Capps and Camren Stacy were shot and killed outside a convenience store on Dixon Avenue, near Scyene Road.

Police have not released the circumstances, saying only that Plano and Richardson high school seniors were in their car. Police found Smith-Capps dead behind the wheel and Stacy on the ground outside.

On Thursday, police tracked a stolen car to an apartment complex on Golf Lakes Trail. A standoff between multiple suspects and police ended in an officer-involved shooting and three arrests.

Among them was 19-year-old Deante Moore, who was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Smith-Capps and Stacy.

“The damage he has done and caused over nothing, nothing, pride and ego. That’s it,” Smith-Capps’ mother said.

While both women say they are relieved to hear that one of their sons’ alleged killers is now behind bars, they hope police find another suspect.

“It’s scary because these are not good people,” she said.

She added that there is no punishment that can bring their sons back.

Dallas police said the investigation is ongoing.
