The Arlington Police Department was notified that an 18-year-old man who was critically injured in a recent shooting has died from his injuries. The case is now being investigated as a homicide.

On Monday June 24, 2024, at approximately 7:24 p.m., officers responded to the 400 block of Claire Court to investigate a reported shooting. 

When they arrived on scene, they found the 18-year-old man, as well as a 20-year-old man, with gunshot wounds. Both were transported to area hospitals. 

The 20-year-old’s injuries are non-life threatening. The 18-year-old was pronounced deceased on June 26, 2024.

Investigators believe both victims arranged to meet the suspected shooter in the neighborhood to engage in high-risk drug activity. Shortly after they arrived, the suspect pulled out a gun and began shooting at the vehicle the two victims were in at the time, striking both of them. The suspect then left the scene.

Following a thorough investigation, Homicide detectives identified the suspect as 17-year-old Joshua Nunn. They obtained warrants for his arrest on one count of Murder and one count of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. 

Mr. Nunn turned himself in at the Tarrant County Jail this morning (Thursday, June 27, 2024). 

His bond has been set at $600,000.

On June 23, 2024, at approximately 1:14 a.m. Mansfield officers were dispatched to approximately the 800 block of FM 917 in reference to a major accident.

Dispatch advised the 911 caller was the mother of the victim. The 911 caller stated she was driving her 21-year-old daughter home due to her daughter possibly being too intoxicated to drive herself. She stated they was traveling on FM 917 when her daughter fell out of the vehicle and may have been struck by at least one vehicle from the traffic in the lane behind her. She also stated there were other vehicles on the roadway directly behind her, so she did not immediately stop, but later turned around and made her way back to where her daughter fell out of the car.

Upon arrival, Mansfield officers observed the victim was unconscious, but breathing with what appeared to be major injuries. Mansfield Officers and Fire/EMS conducted life-saving efforts. The victim was ultimately transported via CareFlite to a Fort Worth trauma center.
