A woman was arrested on suspicion of murder after she shot her boyfriend to death Thursday night in east Fort Worth, police said.
The victim was shot in the head about 9 p.m. in the 5400 block of East Berry Street, police said. He died at John Peter Smith Hospital.
Officials with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office had not released his name Friday afternoon, but a police report identified the victim as 57-year-old Kenneth Small.
The suspect lived in a homeless camp near the shooting scene, police said.
The suspect is Jacqueline Johnson, 60, according to Fort Worth Jail records. She was booked into jail about 1 a.m. Friday.
Three people survived after they were shot in July outside a strip mall in the same block where Small was shot.
