Third suspect arrested in West 7th bar shooting that killed 1, injured 5

A third suspect has been arrested in the October shooting that killed a 31-year-old man and injured five other people at a West 7th district nightclub, according to Fort Worth police records.

Lamar Luster, 20, was booked into the Fort Worth City Jail on Tuesday evening. He faces a murder charge.

Police have said that several suspects fired handguns inside Social LIVV, located at 3005 Bledsoe St., about 1:40 a.m. on Oct. 5. Patrique Allen died at the scene, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. Another man and four women were wounded in the shooting.

Investigators believe the shooters targeted Allen because of his gang affiliations, police said. The other five victims were bystanders.

A man was killed and five people were wounded Oct. 5 in an apparently gang-related shooting inside Social LIVV, a nightclub on Bledsoe Street in Fort Worth’s West 7th entertainment district, police said. A third murder suspect in the case was arrested on Dec. 16.

The suspects ran from the bar after the shooting. Arkell Ross, 20, was arrested Oct. 8 after a standoff with SWAT officers. A second suspect, 23-year-old Jason Nash, was arrested in south Fort Worth on Nov. 5.

Ross and Nash both face murder charges, according to police records. Nash is being held in the Tarrant County Jail on $750,000 bond and has also been charged with one count of engaging in organized criminal activity, Tarrant County court records state. Ross’ bond has been set at $950,000, including bond on a separate robbery case.

Arrest warrant affidavits for the three suspects were not immediately available Wednesday. It’s not clear if Luster has obtained a defense attorney to represent him.
