The Fort Worth Police Department has released body-worn camera footage from an officer-involved shooting that occurred on January 15, 2025, at an apartment complex located in the 8500 block of John T. White Road. On Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at approximately 11:48 a.m., officers from the East Division responded to a report of a person with a weapon at the apartment complex’s leasing office. According to initial 911 calls, a suspect was allegedly brandishing a firearm. One 911 caller stated they feared for their life, repeatedly pleading for police to arrive immediately. Another caller reported seeing an armed man, later identified as 42-year-old Deron Morris, standing outside the leasing office and allegedly pointing a gun at a resident. Upon arrival, the officer observed Morris in the parking lot near the leasing office. He was seen pulling out a firearm before placing it back into his waistband. The officer drew her service weapon and issued verbal commands, but Morris did not comply. Instead, Morris continued to walk toward the officer while the firearm remained in his waistband, moving in the direction of nearby bystanders in an occupied vehicle. Despite repeated commands, he ignored instructions, eventually stopping, reaching for his waistband, and turning to face the officer. Fearing for her safety and that of the bystanders nearby, the officer discharged her weapon multiple times, but none of the shots struck Morris. He then fled the scene, losing the firearm from his waistband as he ran, and barricaded himself inside his apartment. Officers quickly established a perimeter, and after a brief standoff, Morris was taken into custody without further incident. Investigators recovered two firearms from the scene. No officers or civilians were injured during the incident. The Major Case Unit, in coordination with Internal Affairs, is conducting a thorough investigation. As per department policy, the officer involved was placed on Significant Event Leave following the incident but has since returned to duty. Deron Morris remains in custody at the Tarrant County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He is facing five counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and one count of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon against a Public Servant. 0:00 - Preview 0:08 - Description of the events 0:20 - 911 call #1 0:49 - 911 call #2 1:11 - Officer #1 bodycam 2:40 - Shooting 4:46 - Suspect runs away 6:02 - Officer #2 bodycam 6:20 - Suspect arrest Disclaimer: The following content contains graphic scenes of violence that may be disturbing to some viewers.
