Tenant shoots, kills man attempting Fort Worth home invasion robbery, police say
Two men tried to rob an apartment in north Fort Worth a little after midnight Wednesday morning, but a tenant fired in their direction, striking and killing one of the men, police said.
The man who wasn’t shot fled the scene, Officer Brad Perez, a police spokesman, said in an email.
Homicide detectives were investigating the incident Wednesday morning, Perez said.
Officers responded to a shooting call at the Garden Gate Apartments in the 6900 block of North Beach Street around 12:10 a.m., Perez said. The caller described shooting someone breaking into the person’s son’s apartment, according to a police call log.
Police determined two men had attempted a home invasion robbery when a tenant shot at them.
MedStar was dispatched to the apartment, the call log shows.
Perez didn’t describe when the man was pronounced dead. Responding to a question from the Star-Telegram, he said the “only info I have is what was provided by homicide.”
