Patrick Morgan, 60, of Mansfield, Texas, was fatally shot while sitting in a parked car in Fort Worth on the night of October 19, 2024. The shooting happened just before 11 p.m. at the intersection of Miller Avenue and Richardson Street, near Lulu’s Lounge. Morgan had accompanied another person to the location to order food and remained in the vehicle while the companion went to collect the order; that person returned to find Morgan with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Fort Worth Police say the shots appeared to be deliberately aimed at the vehicle rather than random crossfire. Investigators are working with the companion who was with Morgan that evening, canvassing the area for witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage to identify suspects. No arrests have been made and the motive remains unclear. Morgan’s wife described him as a gentle husband, father, son, neighbor, coworker, brother, and friend who was simply waiting for catfish when he was killed.

Anyone who was near Miller Avenue and Richardson Street around 11 p.m. on October 19 or who has surveillance video that could help should contact the Fort Worth Police Department.
