Arlington man jailed in fatal shooting is released
A 20-year-old Arlington man arrested Christmas Eve in a fatal shooting outside Stilettos Cabaret has been released from jail, police confirmed Wednesday.
Karri Kartik Viswanath was arrested on a murder warrant in the slaying of John Williams, 28, of Fort Worth.
“He has been released from custody, and this case is still under investigation. At this point, we do not believe that he is the person that shot and killed the victim,” homicide Sgt. Joe Loughman said.
The shooting occurred shortly after 2 a.m. Dec. 20 at Stilettos Cabaret, 3929 Farm Road 157 near the Fort Worth-Euless border.
Police said an argument between two people inside the club spilled into the parking lot. At least one person pulled a gun and fired shots, fatally wounding Williams and injuring a 25-year-old man.
