On January 16, 2023, 60-year-old boxing coach Joe Guzman of Fort Worth, Texas, was fatally shot in his home on Ray Simon Drive after a dispute with a juvenile family member. The disagreement began verbally, turned physical, and the juvenile allegedly shot Guzman multiple times. Emergency responders pronounced Guzman dead at the scene. The juvenile, whose name is withheld because of age, was arrested at the residence and charged with murder.

Guzman was a long‑time figure in the Fort Worth boxing community, coaching for more than 25 years at the Texas Golden Gloves Youth Center and working with the Police Athletic League. Colleagues and former students describe him as a passionate mentor whose trainees moved on to professional careers and whose influence reached beyond the ring. The case leaves many questions about what happened during the confrontation; anyone with information about the shooting or Guzman’s final hours is asked to come forward.
