As homicide detectives in Arlington mark one year since the death of 43-year-old Yago Fountain, investigators are once again calling on the public to help find the man's killers.

Fountain was fatally shot during a robbery in the 2500 block of Sunflower Drive on Monday, Feb. 3, 2020, police said. Police said officers arrived at the location at about 10 p.m. and found Fountain lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reported seeing three Black men approach Fountain and demand money as he was getting into his vehicle. Police said Fountain was then shot multiple times and the three men ran away.

Police learned that Fountain was visiting North Texas from Tallulah, Louisiana and that he may have also known the individuals responsible for his death.
