On Sunday night in Forney, a tragic incident unfolded as a woman was discovered fatally shot in a garage, leading to a subsequent connection to another individual found dead in Arlington, according to the police.
The initial shooting, reported around 10:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Mandarin Street in Forney, prompted a swift response from officers who discovered a woman in the garage with gunshot wounds. Tragically, she succumbed to her injuries at the scene. Investigators uncovered evidence suggesting that the suspect involved in the shooting had fled only after sustaining injuries of their own.
In response to the incident, Forney authorities alerted nearby agencies, and shortly thereafter, Arlington police notified Forney about an individual found fatally shot within their jurisdiction. Arlington police responded to reports of an unresponsive victim in the parking lot of an ER facility on Cooper Street at approximately 11:30 p.m. Upon arrival, officers discovered a 17-year-old with a gunshot wound, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
As investigators delved into the Arlington case, Forney police informed them that they were seeking a suspect potentially injured during their incident. Both Forney and Arlington detectives collaborated and concluded that the two scenes were interconnected, though specific details were not disclosed. The Texas Rangers were enlisted to assist in the ongoing investigation.
Forney police assured the public that the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident, with no immediate risk to the community. The circumstances surrounding these tragic events were still under investigation, with authorities working to piece together the details of this interconnected and devastating occurrence.
