A 31-year-old man was killed at a Haltom City apartment complex early Thursday when a police officer shot him, officials say. It’s not clear what led to the shooting.

A man was killed early Thursday after a Haltom City police officer opened fire at an apartment complex during a service call, officials said.

Officers responded to the 5500 block of Buster Drive after someone called 911 at about 12:40 a.m. and said they needed police at the Heritage Apartments. The line abruptly disconnected, the Haltom City Police Department said in a news release posted to Facebook.

“During the encounter, an individual, who was initially hesitant to communicate, was involved in an officer-involved shooting,” the post reads.

At least one officer fired their weapon, according to the post. Police didn’t say what led to the shooting. No officers were injured.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man who died as 31-year-old Quaincy Tyron Page. Police said on Thursday that it was unknown whether Page was the 911 caller.

Police said that they gave immediate medical aid to Page, but he died from his injuries.

The Texas Department of Public Safety’s Rangers Division is investigating the shooting, police said.
