Earlier this month, police released photos of five people who they called suspects during the incident on St. Patrick's Day.

Detectives believed it started as an argument and a physical fight, which escalated into a shooting at the intersection of Bledsoe and Currie Streets.

Police released several photos of people believed to be involved in the incident, including one showing a suspect holding a gun.

The victim was shot and seriously injured.

This comes after multiple incidents in the West 7th District in recent months.

On March 2, an argument on nearby Crockett Street over a relationship ended with gunfire and one man dead. 

In September, a TCU student was shot and killed in the same area during what investigators call a ‘random act of violence.’ 

Recently, Fort Worth police have said the routine detail for the area includes more than 25 patrol officers nightly.
