A 40-year-old man was fatally shot at a northwest Fort Worth home Tuesday night after someone in the residence intervened in a domestic disturbance, police said.
Officers were dispatched to the 6300 block of Sloop Street about 10:30 p.m. They learned that two adults in the home had gotten involved in a domestic disturbance, according to police.
“A witness then contacted the adult suspect, who was upstairs, and advised them of the disturbance,” police said in a news release Wednesday.
The person upstairs came down, confronted the man involved in the disturbance and shot him at least once, according to the release. The injured man was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, where he later died.
He’s been identified as Kendrick Malone, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s website. His official cause and manner of death are still pending.
The suspect hasn’t been located yet. Police said the shooting appears to be an isolated incident with nothing to indicate an ongoing threat to the public.
