4-Year-Old Believed To Have Been Shot & Killed By Sibling Identified

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - Officials in Fort Worth have identified the 4-year-old boy shot and killed -- allegedly by a relative -- over the weekend.

According to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner, Truth Albright was the child shot just before noon on Sunday.

After getting reports of a shooting, officers went a house in the 7700 block of Greengage Drive, in southwest Fort Worth. Once there they found Truth injured and immediately got the child to a local hospital, but he died from his injuries.

Police said their investigation has just begun, but that responding officers reported "that a juvenile sibling had shot the four year old."

So far, investigators have released no information about the sibling and haven't confirmed whether the shooting was accidental or intentional.

After a thorough investigation, detectives determined charges will not be filed against the parents of the child.
