Man who went to Fort Worth hospital after being stabbed died of injuries, police say
A man is dead after he was stabbed and went to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth on Friday evening, according to Fort Worth police.
Police were called to the hospital after the man, identified by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office as 36-year-old Armando Garcia, showed up around 5:40 p.m. Friday.
Police believe the stabbing may have happened near a Walmart Neighborhood Market on West Berry Street, according to KXAS-TV. The possible location listed by the medical examiner is the 2200 block of West Berry Street, near the TCU and Paschal High School campuses.
Garcia died from stab wounds about 40 minutes after he arrived at the hospital’s emergency room, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. His death has been ruled a homicide.
Garcia was “the life of the party,” his family wrote in a GoFundMe.
“Our lives have changed in an instant, our loved one has departed from us due to a senseless murder,” the family wrote in the fundraiser’s description. “... Always so goofy, his laugh will surely be missed.”
Police have not announced any arrests or publicly identified any suspects in the killing.
