After performing at the Black Academy in Dallas, 26-year-old Jada Arnell Thomas was shot by a fellow singer while signing autographs. She was finishing up her show, paying her respects to the fans, when the attack happened.
Jada Arnell Thomas had finished her performance on the stage of the Black Academy of Arts and Letters. As Curtis King, the founder, recalls “It was a packed house, people were in line getting autographs and we heard this shot. It was unreal. It was like everything was in slow motion.” Out of nowhere, someone had shot Thomas in the chest before making their escape.
