It won&#8217;t be the last time. But what these individuals need to understand is that when they do something like this, it&#8217;s not a good look for them, and if anything, it&#8217;s just going to make things even worse,&#8221; said Fort Worth Officer Brad Perez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Chief Eddie Garcia took to social media to warn others with the same idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">https:\/\/x.com\/fwpdchiefgarcia\/status\/2001322049587835224<\/p>\n<p>Fort Worth Murder<img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/07f2ea39d71453bf7c8116748135b35f.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>The backstory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The case began in June when a man was found in a vehicle shot in the 2700 block of West Long Avenue. He later died from his injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Torres was arrested and charged with murder. He was released on bond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;So, part of the condition of his bond was that Mr. Torres was supposed to be wearing an ankle monitor,&#8221; Officer Perez said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That condition didn\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;We were advised in late November that he had cut off his ankle monitor,&#8221; Perez said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Torres was on the run for weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>What they&#8217;re saying<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;For those that are related to the loved one, friends and family, I&#8217;m certain they want nothing but justice for the loss of their loved one. And I think you know for them to find out that someone that may be guilty of something like this to be out and about, I&#8217;m sure the fact that we were able to recapture him and arrest him again is a sigh of relief,&#8221; Perez said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>The Source<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The information in this story comes from the Fort Worth Police Department, Chief Eddie Garcia, and past news coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brief Phillip Torres, 19, is back in custody after following weeks on the run.
