A Fort Worth woman has succumbed to her injuries after being shot in her home earlier this month, marking the city's latest homicide. Jovonna Renee Britt, 26, tragically passed away five days after the shooting, dying at John Peter Smith Hospital on Wednesday.

Britt was found shot in her residence at the 7500 block of Oakline Trail, near Ederville Road, according to Tarrant County medical examiner records. The records, obtained by The Dallas Morning News, list her cause of death as "complications of a gunshot wound of neck" and the manner of death as a homicide.

The initial police report, corresponding with the medical examiner records, indicated the incident on Dec. 1 was first reported as an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Law enforcement officials have partially identified a suspect involved in an argument with Britt before the shooting, Ground News reported.

However, detailed information regarding the nature of the argument or the identity of the suspect has not been released by the police. The suspect remains at large, with Fort Worth PD continuing their investigation into the incidents that led to Britt's death.
