King Thomas III
Age 15
Fort Worth, Texas
Aspiring MC. Just 15. Shot dead.
With eyebrow-length dreads
he stepped on the scene
a Texas boy from Fort Worth
who had just turned 15.
His father had passed
he was making mom proud
K.T. Da 3rd was his name
his songs on SoundCloud.
Bad times with the law
but those were his boys
each verse that he rhymed
was sweetness and joy.
A favorite to family,
“he argued a lot” —
all those who knew him
knew he was tough.
In 2018, on Aug. 8
King Thomas III was shot dead
His murderers robbed him
and then they escaped.
