A week after Fort Worth freeway rage killing, police arrest man on suspicion of murder
Police on Wednesday arrested a 27-year-old man on suspicion of murder in the killing last week of a motorist on a freeway service road in Fort Worth.
Stephen Parrish was booked in connection with the April 6 shooting death of Jack White Jr., 53, at the intersection of the South Freeway’s northbound service road and East Morphy Street, Fort Worth police said.
Other than describing that Parrish was motivated by road rage, police did not release other information about the circumstances of the killing or the arrest warrant affidavit in the case.
White was shot about 6:45 p.m. He was pronounced dead in the emergency room at John Peter Smith Hospital about 30 minutes after he was shot. His death was caused by multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The shooter stayed at the scene.
The case is one of three fatal road rage shootings in the city in the past month, according to Fort Worth police.
An 18-year-old man was arrested after he was accused of following a 64-year-old man home and killing him in his driveway on March 16.
On March 19, a 29-year-old man was killed and a woman was in critical condition after a road rage incident started at a fast food restaurant and one car followed another to a home in the 4400 block of Wayside Avenue, where the shooting occurred. Police have said they were interviewing the shooter in that case but have not announced an arrest.
