A man was shot and killed by a bystander after dragging a woman while armed with a machete in north Fort Worth on Sunday night, according to police.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, at about 10:20 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 2900 block of Ross Avenue responding to a person with a weapon call.<\/p>\n

When they arrived, officers found a man with an apparent gunshot wound. Officers and the Fort Worth Fire Department provided medical care, and the man was taken to a hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

Officers learned that the man and a woman were having an argument. Witnesses stated that the man was dragging the woman down the street with a machete in his hand. Neighbors heard the woman screaming for help and one resident came outside and told the man to stop.<\/p>\n

The man who was dragging the woman then approached the resident with the machete, and the resident shot him at least one time, police said in a news release.<\/p>\n

Witnesses called the police, and the resident who shot the man remained on scene to be interviewed by homicide detectives.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office<\/a> will identify the man who died.<\/p>\n
