A 23-year-old Fort Worth man was in custody Wednesday, accused of being the gunman who shot another man to death at a home on May Street, according to jail records and police.
A weapon was found in the home after the Tuesday morning shooting, police said.
The suspect has been identified as Clifford Morris, who was in the Tarrant County Jail on Wednesday, facing a murder charge.
