On January 29, 2024, at about 5:40 p.m., Fort Worth police responded to a shooting in the 1000 block of Northwest 16th Street in the Northside neighborhood. Officers found two people with critical gunshot wounds to the head; both were taken to a hospital, and one died. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner identified the deceased as 51-year-old Samuel Sosa Campos Jr.

Authorities initially withheld details on suspects or motive, saying the investigation was in its early stages. Later reports noted a man was arrested in connection with the shooting and that he had a 2017 conviction for a similar firearm offense; however, recent published arrest listings dated December 27, 2024, do not show any new arrests tied to this case. The investigation remains active and authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure to Samuel Sosa Campos Jr ’s family.

If anyone knew Samuel or has information about the shooting on Northwest 16th Street, please share what you know with investigators.
