Fort Worth police publish quarterly citywide crime reports and maintain a map of reported incidents, but some offenses are excluded from the map to protect privacy and meet legal standards. The department says requests for statistics focused on a particular neighborhood or area must be made through an open-records request, limiting what the public map alone can establish about crime trends around Hemphill and Seminary. The department’s crime-data resources explain those limits.
The shooting occurred against a backdrop of declining overall crime citywide: Fort Worth reported 48,016 offenses in 2025, down 13.8% from 55,692 in 2024. That citywide total covers offenses broadly and does not show whether shootings in South Fort Worth rose or fell; the city’s published figure is not specific to this intersection. Fort Worth’s 2025 crime figures provide a wider context, not a neighborhood-level comparison.
No further details about the victim or the events leading up to the shooting have been released. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
