The Arlington Police Department is investigating a shooting incident that resulted in the death of a 27-year-old male on Sunday, October 13, 2024. At approximately 11:05 p.m., officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 2100 block of Wilcrest Drive after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting gunfire in the area.
Upon arrival, officers discovered the victim slumped over in the driver's seat of a 2011 Ford Edge parked in the lot. He had sustained several gunshot wounds and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Preliminary investigations suggest the shooting occurred while the victim was navigating through the parking lot. The SUV was found in drive, with numerous bullet holes, and appeared to have collided with several parked vehicles before coming to a stop.
As of now, there are no leads on potential suspects, and no witnesses have come forward with information about the shooting. Evidence collected at the scene indicates that the incident may be linked to high-risk drug activities.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the case to contact Detective Stafford at (817) 459-5739. Individuals wishing to remain anonymous can reach out to Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County at (817) 469-8477.
