The Haltom City Police Department has issued a call for public assistance following a tragic road rage incident that claimed the life of a 16-year-old boy. The teenager died from injuries sustained during a shooting that took place last Sunday near the 4400 block of East Belknap Road, the Haltom City, according to the Haltom City Police Department.
In their effort to track down the suspects, HCPD has released details concerning the suspect vehicle involved, a 1999 black Honda Accord adorned with a gray hood and front-right quarter panel, and the vehicle's Texas license plate, FNV9986, has been entered in both the National Crime Information Center and the Texas Crime Information Center databases, though there remain concerns the suspects may have since removed or changed the vehicle's license plate. The Haltom City Police are asking anyone with information related to the vehicle or the occupants to reach out to them directly.
Detectives are also on the lookout for any video footage that may have captured the vehicles in question between 4:15 AM and 4:45 AM on the day of the incident, particularly any cameras that may have been active near the intersection of Layton and Belknap the vehicles traveled through this area. Despite the cold and methodical nature with which the violence unfolded, the authorities consider the shooting an isolated event, believing there was no prior relationship between the victim and those who now find themselves pursued by the weight of justice.
