A man died after being shot Tuesday night in a homicide in southeast Arlington, according to a news release from police.

Homicide investigators aren’t sure why the 51-year-old victim, identified by the Tarrant County medical examiner as Ricardo Garcia Oliveros Jr., was in the 2200 block of Remynse Drive. Detectives are in the process of looking for witnesses or any video related to the shooting, police said.

The area where Oliveros was found is home to apartment complexes and shops.

Officers were called to Remynse Drive shortly after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday after a passerby reported seeing a man lying facedown on the ground, according to police. When they arrived, the officers found Oliveros had been shot. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries.

No arrests have been made and police are asking any witnesses to reach out to Detective Robinson at 817-459-5935 or, to remain anonymous, call Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477.
