New Warrants Issued in Shavon Randle Murder Investigation

There is new information on a murder investigation that has shaken North Texas.

As family and friends laid 13-year-old Shavon Randle to rest today, detectives continued the search for those responsible for her death.

Police tell NBC 5 that they filed eight new warrants last Friday night, including for a new suspect and cell phone records.

The spokesperson for the Lancaster Police Department said the city could not provide the names of the individuals named in the warrants until Monday.

On Saturday, hundreds of people gathered at Friendship West Baptist Church to honor and celebrate Shavon’s life.

“I am just so heartbroken by the whole situation and it’s heart-wrenching,” said family friend Asha Owens. “It’s devastating.”

Police say the 13-year-old was kidnapped as retaliation over a drug theft that she had nothing to do with.

An Amber Alert was issued and the FBI stepped in to try and bring her home.

Last Sunday, Shavon’s body was found inside of an abandoned home in South Oak Cliff last Sunday morning.

The body of 19-year-old Michael Titus was also found inside the house.

Shavon was shot twice, once in the head and once in the torso, according to the medical examiner.

Titus had been shot in the head.

Six people are in custody and face a variety of charges related to this case.

However, no one has been charged with murder.
