A fight between feuding parties erupted into gunfire in south Fort Worth, leaving a minor injured and two people in handcuffs. Police said officers were called to the 8000 block of Chandra Lane shortly after 5 p.m. after the confrontation turned violent, sending at least one person to the hospital with a gunshot wound.
According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, police said two people were arrested after the fight between feuding parties led to the shooting. Officers have not released the identities of the two people taken into custody, and it remains unclear what sparked the dispute or what relationship, if any, existed between the parties involved.
The shooting victim was struck in the leg, per the same police account, and was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police also said a minor was injured in the shooting, though details about that injury and the minor's connection to the altercation have not been disclosed.
Investigation Still Underway
The Fort Worth Police Department has confirmed the investigation into the Chandra Lane shooting is ongoing, and no further information about the circumstances surrounding the fight has been made public. No charges have been announced against the two people in custody, and the exact nature of the feud that preceded the gunfire has not been explained by investigators.
The shooting adds to a string of violent incidents reported across Fort Worth in recent months. Fort Worth also saw a quadruple shooting that left two men dead and two others wounded, as reported by CBS Texas, another case with no established link to this incident.
A City Tracking Its Crime Numbers
The Fort Worth Police Department maintains quarterly crime reports meant to catalog citywide crime statistics and highlight departmental activity, according to the agency's own materials. The city also runs an open-data portal where residents can download and map crime data across multiple formats. A 2025 report from the Fort Worth Report noted the police department had recorded an overall crime decrease of 14.3% during the second quarter of that year, though it's unclear how incidents like the Chandra Lane shooting factor into more recent trends.
For now, police have not said whether more arrests are expected or whether additional charges could be filed as the investigation continues. Anyone with information about the shooting has not yet been given a specific channel to come forward, according to available reporting.
