A man has been arrested on Friday in connection with the shooting death of another man in Fort Worth last month. Police responded to a home on North Houston Street and discovered a gunshot victim in the backyard. The victim, identified as 46-year-old Julian Rey Torrez, died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner records.
The suspect, Odell Thompson, left the scene before the arrival of the officers. However, investigators believe that there may have been an argument between the suspect and the victim prior to the shooting. Thompson, who is 50 years old, now faces a murder charge and is being held in custody at the Tarrant County jail. He is also facing a charge of tampering with evidence. As of Sunday, Thompson remains in jail with a total bond of $175,000. It is currently unclear whether he has obtained legal representation.
Further details regarding the motive for the shooting or the relationship between Torrez and Thompson are not yet available. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to gather more information about the incident.
The shooting has left residents of Fort Worth concerned about the safety of their community. Crime and public safety have become important topics of discussion among neighbors, who are eager to stay informed about incidents like this.
As the case progresses, Fort Worth residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police. The local authorities are committed to ensuring the safety and security of the community and will continue to work diligently to solve crimes and bring justice to the victims and their families.
