A Fort Worth truck dispute that turned into a shooting outside a neighborhood game room has now become a homicide case. Stevie Jones, 58, who was shot in early November while trying to get back a truck he believed had been sold without his permission, died at a hospital last Friday, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner and local officials.
How Police Say the Shooting Unfolded
According to Fort Worth police, Jones and his mother tracked the truck to a game room near East Berry Street and South Riverside Drive after a woman told the buyer she was the rightful owner, then signed the title over to him. Investigators say Jones still had a set of keys, used them to get into the truck and started to drive away.
Officers say the man who had bought the vehicle then came out of the game room and fired at the truck, hitting Jones. He was taken for treatment to John Peter Smith Hospital, where officers were first alerted to the case, as reported by Yahoo News. What began as an attempt to reclaim a vehicle quickly escalated into a life-or-death confrontation in the parking lot.
