Three people have been arrested and another is wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a 33-year-old woman in White Settlement last month, police said in a statement Tuesday.
White Settlement police responded to reports of a shooting at a residence at about 3 p.m. on Jan. 30, in the 600 block of Meadow Park Drive. Officers found a woman, identified as Savanna Michelle Parker, inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds.
Parker was transported to the hospital, where she later died.
White Settlement police worked in collaboration with Fort Worth police and the Texas Department of Public Safety to comb through evidence, including doorbell footage, citizen-provided videos and license plate numbers.
Investigators determined three people had arrived in a vehicle and parked on Whitney Drive, west of the residence where the shooting occurred. Police said the vehicle was driven from the direction of Fort Worth by 23-year-old Marissa Nicole Ocon.
