Around 8:45 p.m. on Friday, the Fort Worth Police Department said it received a 911 call from the 1,400 block of East Chase Parkway that a gas station store clerk had been shot.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived, FWPD said the employee had died from his injuries. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Chandrashekar Pole, 28. <\/p>\n

Police said the suspect, 23-year-old Richard Florez, left the gas station to a location about a mile south and became involved in an altercation with another vehicle and shot into it several times. <\/p>\n

Officer Brad Perez, a spokesperson for the Fort Worth Police Department, said no body was harmed in that shooting.<\/p>\n

The suspect is then accused of traveling to the 8500 block of Meadowbrook Drive and ramming through the metal access gate of someone’s property.<\/p>\n

Police said the suspect tried to enter the property. Perez said the people living there did not know the suspect and called 911. <\/p>\n

“They [officers] also recovered a gun inside the vehicle at that scene,” said Perez regarding the police investigation. “That suspect is currently in the hospital, but he has been booked for the homicide.”<\/p>\n

The Consulate General of India, Houston, offered condolences to the Pole family <\/a>via a post on its Facebook page. It said Pole was an Indian student from Hyderabad who was currently in school in North Texas.<\/p>\n

It was a violent and deadly weekend across the metroplex in both Dallas and Fort Worth. Perez said newly sworn-in Chief Eddie Garcia was notified about the three homicides within such a short period of time and initiated several specialized units to be out on patrol over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Perez said Garcia ordered VICE, the Direct Response Unit (DRU), and members of SWAT to be visible in high crime areas to deter any further major crimes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Around 8:45 p.m. on Friday, the Fort Worth Police Department said it received a 911 call from the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":282094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,7371,7372,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-282093","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-fort-worth","10":"tag-fortworth","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115328247674610829","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
