Carl Edwin Fleece, 81, was found dead in his Fort Worth home on September 16, 2016. His son, Martin Craig Fleece, initially reported the death as a suicide, but Fort Worth police later concluded Carl had been fatally shot by Martin, who then misled family members about what happened.

Officers attempting to contact Martin as a witness were ambushed; two officers were shot. Officer Xavier Serrano was critically injured and Officer Ray Azucena suffered less severe wounds. After the attack, Martin Fleece retreated to a shed on the property and died by suicide.

The case raised questions about how the scene unfolded and the interactions between family members and responding officers. If anyone knew Carl or Martin or saw activity at that Fort Worth address on or around September 16, 2016, please share what was observed.
