The location has seen deadly violence before. The Star-Telegram reported that a 19-year-old suspect, Xavier Evans, was arrested in connection with an October 12, 2024, shooting at La Gran Plaza that killed one person and injured two others. That earlier shooting happened around 2:15 a.m. when someone got out of a black Dodge Durango and fired multiple shots into a crowd, according to the same report, which identified the victim as 41-year-old Diago Franchez Jones.
The Star-Telegram reported that two other people were injured in that 2024 shooting, in addition to the person who died.
South Freeway has also been the site of other serious police incidents in recent months. In July 2026, Fort Worth officers shot and killed 56-year-old Ricky Shane Lindsey after he pulled a handgun on them during a stop, the Star-Telegram reported, an incident separate from Thursday's shooting.
No details about the current victims, a possible suspect, or an arrest have been released. The investigation into Thursday's shooting remains active, and police have not said when more information will be available.
