Jun 07, 2026
Fort Worth Police said they’re looking for a suspect accused of “indiscriminately” firing a gun in the direction of several people near where the Stop 6 Day neighborhood celebration had recently ended.
“We love each other amongst our community,” witness and Stop 6 Day attendee Billy All
en said. “So I just wanted that to be known.”
Police said around 9:10 p.m. on Saturday, officers were dispatched to calls of a shooting in the 5200 block of East Rosedale.
FWPD said there was a scheduled gathering for Stop 6 Day at the Stop Six Park, but has no reason to believe the two were related in any way. The event was in the process of winding down when the shooting occurred and it was not at the same location, according to police.
In a news release, police said that to the east of the park is a business strip center and an apartment complex.
“He came from this way,” Allen said pointing in the direction of the businesses and apartments.
“A suspect, observed dressed in all black, was seen coming around the corner between the apartment community and the businesses. The suspect then fired a gun indiscriminately in the direction of several people gathered in the area. The suspect was then seen running away toward the nearby apartment community,” said Fort Worth Police Officer Bradley Perez.
A woman was hit in the head with a bullet and remains in critical condition at the hospital.
FWPD said an officer was sitting in his parked squad car along the street outside the gathering when a bullet pierced his windshield. Shrapnel hit the officer in the neck. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said a child was also grazed in the head by a bullet and taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Officers said an elderly woman was hit in the hip by gunfire but has non-life-threatening injuries.
“That’s crazy, ’cause for you to do that with police here, cause we don’t do that. We’re not about…were not promoting violence,” Allen said. “You know, I don’t like that because we want to know that it’s…we want a safe environment, ’cause we want to continue to do this.”
Police said they do not have anyone in custody and are looking to the community for help.
