Watch: Fort Worth police seek help identifying suspect in shooting outside Varsity Tavern

Fort Worth police are asking the public for help identifying a man they believe is responsible for a shooting outside a West 7th nightclub that injured two people last Sunday.

Shots rang out outside the Varsity Tavern around 1:30 a.m., when a gunman fired shots into a crowd then fled the scene on foot. Two victims were shot and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. According to a police report, a third person was also injured but was not taken to a hospital.

Police released video footage of the shooting suspect on their social media platforms, asking for additional information.

The video shows a man in a black and green jacket with patches, and ripped blue jeans, walking on a sidewalk by the nightclub.

The video was accompanied by photo stills of the man, with what appears to be a black firearm, and his arm extended forward with the weapon.

Anyone with information should contact the police department at 817-392-4467.
