Man shot, killed in suspected Fort Worth child custody dispute, police say
One man is dead and one is in custody after a shooting Sunday in east Fort Worth, police said.
Police responded about 3:45 p.m. Sunday to a call about a shooting at a house in the 7400 block of Beaty Street, where they found a man shot in the upper body during what they believe to be a child custody dispute.
The man was transported to an area hospital, where he died. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him Monday as Cameron Miller, 25.
One neighbor said several residents rushed out of their homes when they heard three gunshots, trying to help the man as police and paramedics were called to the scene. She said he’d been shot in the chest.
Police towed away a red, gray, black and orange camo Dodge Charger from the scene before most officers cleared out of the area.
Police said they have “at least one of the actors” in custody. They did not specify if they suspected anybody else was involved in the incident.
Homicide investigators have taken over, according to police.
