Man booked on capital murder charge after fatal shooting in Arlington
A 24-year-old man was slain inside an Arlington apartment during a robbery Thursday as the victim and suspect exchanged gunfire, police said.
The victim was shot about 1 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 1600 block of Nandina Drive, Arlington police said.
Witnesses saw another man leave the apartment where the shooting occurred and enter a different apartment nearby, police said.
