Two Separate Fatal Shootings in Fort Worth Leave Victims and Suspects at Large
The Homicide Unit has opened active probes and the Tarrant County Medical Examiner will release victim identities after next-of-kin notifications.
Overview
- A shooting in a nightclub parking lot on South Riverside Drive left one person dead and another injured after an argument late Sunday, and the suspected shooter fled before officers arrived.
- Officers found an adult man with a gunshot wound on Ridglea Country Club Drive later Sunday morning and emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene while the suspect fled.
- Detectives from the Fort Worth Police Homicide Unit are leading both investigations and are interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence in each case.
- The Tarrant County Medical Examiner will determine official causes of death and will release victim identities after family notification, and police are asking anyone with information to call 817-392-4222 or submit anonymous tips to Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-TIPS or 469tips.com.
- These shootings follow a string of recent gun incidents in Fort Worth, including mid-May officer-involved cases and a June 7 mass shooting, and residents and officials say the pattern has raised community safety concerns.
