Argument at sports bar led to shooting \"\" <\/p>\n

Dig deeper:<\/p>\n

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 4, Johnathan Hernandez is Nicacio Hernandez III’s son, and shot his father after an argument at a Fort Worth sports bar.<\/p>\n

The affidavit states on Friday, September 25, Johnathan met Nicacio and his mother at a BoomerJack’s restaurant in Lake Worth before going to Tumbleweeds Sports bar in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

At the sports bar, Johnathan got into a verbal disagreement with a friend of his father. According to the affidavit, Johnathan became angered when Nicacio took his friend’s side in the argument instead of his.<\/p>\n

After returning home, Johnathan and Nicacio got into a verbal argument over Nicacio’s stance in the previous argument, leading to Johnathan punching his father five times after he felt Nicacio was about to strike him.<\/p>\n

Johnathan told police Nicacio took out a knife from his belt, leading him to flee. While he was fleeing, he stated he heard a gunshot, and believed his father had fired a weapon towards him.<\/p>\n

The affidavit states Johnathan received a ride to his apartment from an unknown person, where he retrieved a “rifle”-style firearm from his vehicle, and returned to Nicacio’s residence.<\/p>\n

Upon returning to Nicacio’s residence, Johnathan located Nicacio in his garage. Johnathan told police he heard his father say, “Y’all are all gonna die tonight.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnathan told police believed his father would hurt his family at the residence, and he shot his father multiple times in the back of the head.<\/p>\n

Police interviewed Nicacio’s family at the residence, who stated they did not believe Nicacio posed an immediate threat to them, or that Johnathan had returned home before he shot Nicacio.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

Fort Worth Police Public Information Officer Tracy Carter says Hernandez told his girlfriend he was going to do something to his father when he retrieved the firearm.<\/p>\n

“He told his girlfriend that he was going to do something to the father,” Carter tells FOX 4’s Dionne Anglin. “Now the girlfriend actually made a call over there, and he went back to the residence and committed the crime.”<\/p>\n

Fort Worth Police PIO Tracy Carter <\/p>\n

Carter says other details are unclear, as the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.<\/p>\n

“Someone having a disagreement because you don\u2019t take my side and agree with someone else, should not be the reason someone should lose their life.”<\/p>\n
