A suspect was arrested in the homicide of a man who was found fatally shot in June in Fort Worth, according to jail records.
Xavier Wyatt, 20, is charged with murder in the death of 19-year-old Gregorio Soriano.
Soriano was shot twice in the torso in the 9900 block of Lone Eagle Drive about 6 p.m. on June 24, authorities said.
The assailant, later identified as Wyatt, left the scene, a Fort Worth police spokesperson said. Police did not immediately announce an arrest.
About two hours after he was fired upon, Soriano died of gunshot wounds of the abdomen at a hospital, according to the medical examiner’s office.
Soriano, from Fort Worth, was known as a “courageous, vigilant, brilliant, and an inspiring father, spouse, son and friend,” according to his obituary.
He is survived by his wife, son, parents, his siblings, and his grandparents.
