Fort Worth Police say a 14-year-old was shot and killed while trying to break into an apartment overnight near 5200 Southcrest Court.
A mentor told NBC 5 the teen was named Devin and that he’d been working through disciplinary issues at school but seemed to be responding well to guidance before the incident.
At about 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 14, Fort Worth Police said they received a call that multiple people were trying to break into a home on Southcrest Court. Officers came to the scene, left, and then got another call that the group was back.
When they returned, police said they found a 14-year-old boy who had been shot in the torso by someone inside the home. That teenager died at the scene.
“I was supposed to go up there today,” said community advocate Durwyn Lamb. “And as I was getting ready to go up there, I got a text that said he was murdered.”
The fatal shooting was a blow to Lamb, a longtime martial arts coach who has worked to guide troubled youth in south Fort Worth.
