A weekend shooting claimed the life of a Fort Worth security guard who was working after hours<\/a>. Now, one of his friends shares more with CBS News Texas<\/a> about who he was.<\/p>\n

The shooting unfolded early Sunday morning in the southeast part of the city along Miller Avenue. The security guard, identified as 38-year-old Dominique Coleman, had been working at a nightclub and crossed the street to confront some customers from the club, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That is when the suspect, 21-year-old Dadrian Freeman, shot Coleman multiple times, including in the back of the head, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. Dadrian Freeman also reportedly shot a woman and hit her on the head with the butt of his gun before fleeing the scene with two other family members: his father, identified as 46-year-old Dedrian Freeman, and his brother, identified as 22-year-old Dedrian Freeman Jr.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All three were arrested, with Dadrian Freeman charged with murder and aggravated assault. Meanwhile, Dedrian Freeman is charged unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and had an active warrant for a parole violation. Dedrian Freeman Jr. was arrested on an active Collin County warrant for a felony deadly conduct charge.<\/p>\n

The woman who was shot is recovering, according to police.<\/p>\n

“You hate to see tragedy happen, especially on Mother’s Day,” said Tracy Carter with the Fort Worth Police Department<\/a>. “This is something tragic that never should have happened.”<\/p>\n

Cliff Sparks is one of Coleman’s friends and was part of the DFW Ryderz car club in Fort Worth. He said Coleman was a special kind of man.<\/p>\n

“Great guy, great father, he was a one-of-a-kind guy,” Sparks said. “It’s heartbreaking to see what his mother going through to have see her son laying on the ground on Mother’s Day.”<\/p>\n

A meeting was planned among community members to happen Monday evening as part of a call to demand an end to the violence.<\/p>\n
