Magdalene Mancho, 66, was killed inside her Fort Worth home in the 3400 block of Tahiti Lane on January 30, 2026, when a bullet fired from outside pierced a wall and struck her in the neck. She had been caring for her grandchildren at the time. Emergency responders first treated the scene as a medical call after reports that a woman had fallen; at the hospital staff discovered she had sustained a gunshot wound and she later died, with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner confirming the cause of death.

Investigators say a shots-fired call in the same area occurred roughly an hour before the medical call. Family members reported a bullet hole in the front door, and police have since reclassified the case as a homicide. No suspects have been identified or taken into custody; the Fort Worth Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact them or Tarrant County Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone in the neighborhood that night have dashcam, doorbell footage, or other information that could help investigators?
