Guard charged in first of two killings at Fort Worth game room in two months
The Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office on Friday charged a southeast Fort Worth game room security guard with murder in connection with the killing of a man with whom he feuded over ownership of a pickup truck.
The guard, Antwone Polk, was inside the game room lobby, sitting at a desk when, early on Nov. 8, Stevie Jones entered and had a confrontation with Polk, according to a police account.
A few minutes later, Jones left the game room in the 2600 block of South Riverside Drive and walked through the parking lot toward a parked Dodge Dakota that Polk later told a police officer Polk had purchased in the previous hours from a person he encountered on the street.
Jones opened the driver’s side door and began driving toward the exit gate, according to the affidavit supporting Polk’s arrest warrant in which a detective describes game room surveillance camera recordings.
Polk reached under the desk where he was sitting and picked up a duffel bag, the video showed. Polk stood, withdrew a gun from the bag and left the game room, according to the affidavit.
As the pickup drove toward the exit gate, Polk followed alongside the driver’s side on foot while pulling on the door handles. Polk fired multiple rounds into the driver’s side window, according to the affidavit.
Jones, who was 58, died at a hospital on Dec. 12 of complications from gunshot wounds to the left arm and torso. Jones had told police that a female friend took his truck without permission and sold it to a man at the game room. Jones said after he found the truck, he used his keys to get inside and was driving away when the man came outside and shot him.
The woman had told Polk she was the rightful owner of the truck and signed the title over to him, police have said.
Polk, 43, is being held in the Tarrant County Jail on $250,000 bond.
In a separate case on Jan. 1, another security guard shot a woman to death at the same game room after she advanced toward him with a “stabbing weapon,” according to police. A police record states that an officer found a screwdriver on the ground next to the woman.
Polk was not the shooter in the Jan. 1 case. Police have not released the shooter’s name and have not made an arrest in that case.
