Christopher Dwight Sanders Sr., 40, was fatally shot on December 1, 2024, in Fort Worth, Texas. Officers found him in the front passenger seat of a blue Dodge Charger at the Garden Gate Apartments, 6901 N. Beach St., with a gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Sanders and his 19-year-old nephew, Derrick Sanders Jr., were in the Charger following a Chrysler 300 after leaving an apartment complex near Western Center Boulevard. While both vehicles were moving, Derrick reportedly leaned out of the rear left passenger window and fired multiple shots at the Chrysler. Bullets that struck the Charger's roof penetrated into the cabin and hit Christopher. Evidence at the scene included a concealed temporary tag on the Charger, occupants wearing orange gloves, additional orange gloves, a fired cartridge casing, bloody footprints, discarded clothing, and a handgun found near an air conditioning unit. Surveillance footage and Derrick’s voluntary statement to detectives are reported to show him firing from the rear left passenger side; Derrick Sanders Jr. was arrested and charged with felony murder.

Christopher is described by family as a gentle giant and a family man. Does anyone have information about the vehicles’ route that afternoon or who else may have been in either car?
