Taifiq Forney, a 36-year-old African American man, was shot and later pronounced dead at a hospital on September 20, 2015, in the Amber Fields neighborhood of Fort Worth, Texas. He was one of two people wounded in a shooting at a home in the 2000 block of Chisholm Trail; the second victim was taken to a Dallas hospital and their condition was not immediately disclosed.

After the shooting, two suspects were taken into custody by the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office and a vehicle linked to them was found in the parking lot of Brown Middle School. Several nearby schools went into lockdown that day, including Brown Middle, North Forney Middle, Smith Intermediate, Dewberry Elementary, Blackburn Elementary, and Forney Learning Academy; authorities said there was no ongoing threat and they were not seeking additional suspects.

The investigation was focused on determining motive and building a case against the two people in custody. Taifiq Forney was remembered by his community as a husband, friend, and minister. Does anyone have information about the events that led to the shooting or about the two people taken into custody?
