19-year-old man killed in shooting at his east Fort Worth home Tuesday morning, police say
Police are investigating a shooting that killed a 19-year-old at his home in east Fort Worth early Tuesday morning.
Shots were fired around 2:25 a.m. in the 4700 block of Burton Avenue, police said.
“Upon arrival, officers confirmed an adult male victim had suffered several gunshot wounds and was pronounced deceased,” police said in a news release.
The victim was identified as MarQuavion Steward, of Fort Worth, by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. The medical examiner did not rule on Steward’s cause of death as of Tuesday morning because the autopsy hasn’t been completed, but authorities said the 19-year-old died on a couch in the living room of his Burton Avenue residence.
A 911 caller said “someone murdered my son,” according to a police incident report.
The homicide investigation remains ongoing. A suspect had not been taken into custody as of Tuesday morning, and police have not described a motive for the shooting.
