A 66-year-old Fort Worth woman died from a stray bullet that struck her inside her home Friday night, and police are asking for help to find the shooter.<\/p>\n
The death of Magdalene Mancho highlights the dangers of random gunfire in residential neighborhoods, as investigators work to connect her killing to earlier reports of shots fired in the area.<\/p>\n
Fire crews initially responded<\/a> to what appeared to be a medical emergency at 8:51 p.m. in the 3400 block of Tahiti Lane<\/a> in Fort Worth\u2019s South Division. Responders initially believed Mancho had fallen inside her home.<\/p>\n After arriving at the hospital, medical staff discovered Mancho\u2019s injuries were due to a gunshot wound, not a fall. She died in the emergency room shortly after her arrival, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n Fort Worth homicide detectives believe a bullet fired from outside penetrated Mancho\u2019s home and struck her. The shooting may be linked to a \u201cshots fired\u201d call reported in the same neighborhood about an hour before the medical dispatch.<\/p>\n No suspects are in custody. Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage and canvassing the neighborhood for witnesses who might have seen or heard anything suspicious on Friday evening.<\/p>\n Police are urging anyone with information to contact the Fort Worth Homicide Unit at 817-392-4330. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-TIPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 66-year-old Fort Worth woman died from a stray bullet that struck her inside her home Friday night,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148043,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[61708,116,118,117,61705,61706,61709,61704,61707],"class_list":["post-148042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-elderly-woman-killed-home","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-fort-worth-stray-bullet-death","tag-magdalene-mancho-shooting","tag-police-seek-tips-tahiti-lane","tag-random-gunfire","tag-random-gunfire-fort-worth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
