Man shot dead outside Arlington house; possible second victim at hospital, police say

A man who had been shot to death was found lying in the front yard of an Arlington house Saturday, police said.

The victim was killed at about 6:30 p.m. in the 2400 block of Summer Place Drive, said Lt. Christopher Cook, an Arlington police spokesman.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim Tuesday as Hector Jesus Salazar, 18. He died of gunshot wounds to the torso, according to the medical examiner’s website.

Another victim may have been shot at the same time. A male who was expected to survive arrived at Mansfield Methodist Hospital, police said. Detectives were trying to determine whether that victim was connected to the Summer Place Drive homicide.

Police have not announced an arrest.

Police asked anyone with information on the killing to call homicide Detective Julia Hall at 817-459-5325. Tipsters can remain anonymous by calling Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477.
