1 person dead following argument at after-prom party in Fort Worth
FORT WORTH (CBSNewsTexas.com) — One person is dead following an argument at a large after-prom party in Fort Worth overnight.
On April 30, officers were sent to a shooting call at an empty lot in the 3500 block of NW 27th Street.
When officers arrived, they found a male victim with a gunshot wound to his torso. Police said he was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment but later died from his injuries.
During their investigation, detectives found there was a "large party" being held at the location when an argument broke out between the victim and the suspect.
Neighbors said it was an after-prom party, of which teenagers left behind trash, empty beer bottles and even a lawn chair.
"Once the music stopped, I knew something was gonna go on," Juan Moreno said. "I came outside, seen the lights going...everyone was going, just running."
Police said the suspect—who has not been publicly identified at this time—fled the scene prior to their arrival. They ask anyone with pictures or video related to the shooting to call the department.
