David Maurice Norwood, 44, was shot and killed on August 21, 2013, in Fort Worth, Texas, during an attempted break-in. Norwood was found dead at the scene from gunshot wounds and the Fort Worth Police Department investigated the sequence of events leading to the shooting.

The legal review centered on whether deadly force was justifiable under Texas home-defense law, and the case drew local attention amid debates over homeowners’ rights and the limits of protecting property. Questions remain about the precise timeline and actions inside the confrontation. Did anyone in the area witness the break-in or the confrontation that night?
