The Father’s Day Shooting That Shocked Fort Worth
The case stems from a violent incident in the early hours of July 15, when a shooting broke out at a house party in Fort Worth. According to investigators, the tragedy unfolded around 12:30 a.m. near the Cameron Road and Rundberg Lane area, leaving 19-year-old Anthony Rangel dead and two others injured.
Reports indicate the violence was sparked by a dispute between two women over one of the eventual shooting victims. Tensions escalated when unidentified individuals arrived at the gathering. One man allegedly confronted one of the victims before drawing a firearm and opening fire.
