Woman shot at office in Tarrant County dies in surgery; authorities investigate killing
A woman who was shot Tuesday evening at an office in Tarrant County died during surgery, authorities said.
The victim was shot shortly before 6 p.m. in the 1900 block of Golden Heights Road in a building constructed from a shipping container that’s part of a collection of commercial suites.
The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and had not announced an arrest Tuesday night.
The victim was identified as Atiyeh Chatmon, 23, of Fort Worth, according to officials with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office in Fort Worth. Chatmon was pronounced dead at 7:46 p.m. Tuesday at John Peter Smith Hospital.
“We are working all possible leads in this incident and do not believe there is a danger to the surrounding area,” David McClelland, the sheriff’s office chief of staff, wrote in an email.
Someone who heard a gunshot called 911 about 5:50 p.m., and deputies arrived on the scene at 6, the sheriff’s office said.
Investigators have not commented on a motive for the killing.
The office where the woman was killed is in a development on the north side of the city called the Fort Worth Design District. According to its website, the district is “a business enclave made for creative entrepreneurs in fashion, design, architecture, technology, and other fields that prize both design and aesthetics. About 40 acres, Fort Worth Design District features retail shop spaces, studios and workshops, showrooms, light industrial spaces for makers, distributors and manufacturers and office suites.”
At the center of the development are the Box Office Warehouse Suites, commercial lease space built entirely out of shipping containers, the website says.
