Victim in road rage shooting not expected to survive, Fort Worth police say
A 41-year-old man was arrested Sunday and faces a charge of murder after allegedly shooting a 17-year-old in the head, Fort Worth police said.
The 17-year-old is “no longer exhibiting brain activity and is not expected to survive,” according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Police arrested Jose Camargo Madrigal, who was being held in the Tarrant County Jail on Monday with bond set at $200,000.
The shooting occurred Saturday night near 3056 Mansfield Highway after the pickup truck in which the victim was a passenger was involved in a collision with another pickup, according to the arrest warrant affidavit.
Both vehicles were stopped at a red light near Mansfield Highway and Seminary Drive when an occupant of the Chevrolet Avalanche began shooting at the victim’s vehicle, a Chevrolet Silverado. The driver of the victim’s vehicle drove away and pulled into a nearby gas station after realizing the 17-year-old passenger had been shot, police said.
The shooter’s pickup drove away, police said. Officers used license plate reading cameras to identify it, police said. The pickup was registered to Camargo Madrigal. Police later stopped Camargo Madrigal when he was a passenger in a different vehicle. In an interview with detectives, he admitted to firing multiple rounds into the back of a dark-colored pickup, according to the affidavit.
