A man was killed in a drive-by shooting that disrupted the evening peace in a Fort Worth neighborhood on Saturday, police said. The victim identified by Fort Worth authorities as 20-year-old Jordan Dewon Miles, encountered his final moments on the 2900 block of San Rose Drive where radar-pinging shots terminated the nascent twilight silence, as reported by NBC DFW.
It was just after 8 p.m. when gunfire echoed through the street. Police were summoned to the scene to find the aftermath – a male sprawled lifeless, the recipient of a lethal gunshot wound though a slew of witnesses remained, providing accounts that would etch the night's grim narrative into the annals of the city's history, as per FOX 4 News.
Investigators pieced together a chilling sequence: Miles, along with a group of men, fell into an unforeseen ambush as an unidentified vehicle roared into view, its occupants unleashing a sudden volley of bullets at the gathering before fleeing the carnage they had wrought. Despite emergency responders' desperate efforts, their life-saving measures crumbled against the finality of Miles' injuries; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Fort Worth Police Department has not released descriptions of the suspect(s) involved in the shooting. Witnesses at the scene have reportedly cooperated with the police investigation in hopes of shining a light on the darkness of this senseless act.
