 On Sunday, April 21, 2024, at approximately 1:13 a.m., officers responded to a gentlemen’s club in the 2700 block of Majesty Drive to investigate reports of shots fired. 

When they arrived, they located a 30-year-old man and a 40-year-old man lying in the roadway near the parking lot of the club with apparent gunshot wounds. The 30-year-old man was pronounced deceased at the scene. The 40-year-old man was transported to an area hospital. He is expected to survive. 

The suspected shooter remained on scene and was detained by officers.

After reviewing evidence and speaking with witnesses, investigators believe the suspected shooter was at the club and was confronted by the 40-year-old, who’d had previous conflicts with him. The two got into a verbal altercation outside the business. While they were arguing, it appears the 30-year-old, who is a friend of the 40-year-old, pulled up to the club and got involved in the altercation. A short time later, shots were fired.

Officers recovered a firearm near the 40-year-old. 

Detectives have not ruled out the possibility that the shooting was done in self-defense. After consulting with the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, the decision was made not to file criminal charges against the suspected shooter at this time. He was released and was not arrested.
