Patrique Allen, 31, was killed in a burst of gunfire inside the Social LIV nightclub in Fort Worth’s West 7th entertainment district shortly after 1:40 a.m. on Sunday, October 5, 2025. Officers who responded to the 3000 block of Bledsoe Street found him inside the club with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the Tarrant County Medical Examiner listed the cause of death as gunshot wounds and the manner of death as homicide.

Detectives said multiple shooters opened fire with handguns and fled on foot before officers arrived. Five additional patrons were struck by gunfire and either self-transported or were taken by ambulance to nearby hospitals; police said those victims were in stable condition. Investigators described a sprawling scene, reviewed nightclub and nearby business surveillance, and said the attack may have been gang-related.

Public filings noted Allen had prior encounters with the justice system, including a 2019 capital murder indictment that led to a 2023 conviction and a five-year prison sentence, which his attorney characterized as reflecting an accomplice role. The investigation into the Social LIV shooting remained active and investigators said additional suspects were possible.
