Overview
- Police say a woman was shot dead on eastbound I-20 near Granbury Road on Thursday morning after a blue vehicle pulled alongside her red sedan during an apparent road‑rage confrontation.
- Investigators traced the blue Volkswagen SUV from dash‑camera footage and witness accounts to 37‑year‑old Patrick Lapaul Lawrence, who was detained at his workplace in Justin and later booked on a murder charge.
- An arrest affidavit says Lawrence admitted firing one shot from a 9mm Canik pistol, officers recovered a 9mm gun from his vehicle, and the ammunition had characteristics consistent with a single casing found near the exit.
- The victim was identified as LaTaivia Uni‑Que Davis, an Everman ISD teacher assistant who officers say was likely traveling to work; the district has offered counseling and support to students and staff.
- Fort Worth’s Homicide Unit leads an active investigation, I-20 eastbound lanes were closed while the scene was processed, and Lawrence is being held in Tarrant County jail with bond not yet set.
