6 shot, 1 fatally, in Fort Worth shooting, police say; some were innocent bystanders
Six people were shot Friday night in south Fort Worth, including at least two innocent bystanders, when the parties inside of two cars on the Southwest Loop 820 freeway began shooting at each other, police said.
Dominick Dijuan Primes, 19, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. The five others suffered injuries that aren’t life-threatening, police said.
The incident is believed to be gang-related.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Primes was one of the innocent bystanders or in one of the cars. Officer Tracy Carter, a police spokesman, said in an email on Saturday morning, “The incident is still being investigated.”
One of the victims was a woman in a separate vehicle who was hit with a stray bullet, police said. Another was a man who was inside of his home on the freeway service road when he was struck by a bullet. The conditions of these two people were unclear.
The suspects weren’t known as of Saturday morning.
The incident was reported around 10:10 p.m. Friday in the 2000 block of eastbound Southwest Loop 820, according to a police call log.
The caller stated she heard several gunshots near her house and one went through the window and struck her husband in the arm, the call log shows. More than 35 units responded through Friday night and Saturday morning.
Detectives believe the incident was gang-related, police said.
The gang unit is leading the investigation.
