Hurst PD responds to "non credible threat" at L.D. Bell after somebody writes on a bathroom wall.

Hurst PD's Capt Duermeyer told me this afternoon that "There was a non-credible threat made, but we never went to a full lockdown status. We added more officers to the school for a stronger visual presence. Nothing transpired."

The school principal sent out this email to parents.

A severe thunderstorm storm watch has been issued for areas along the red river. There is a chance of a quick tornado for that area. I wouldn't be surprised if this watch is extended south later this afternoon. Storms are beginning to fire to our west. The tornado chance is low, but it is still there.

Se ha emitido una severa alerta de tormenta eléctrica para las áreas a lo largo del río Rojo. Existe la posibilidad de un tornado rápido para esa zona. No me sorprendería que este reloj se extendiera hacia el sur más tarde esta tarde. Las tormentas están empezando a disparar hacia nuestro oeste. La probabilidad de tornado es baja, pero sigue ahí.

Y'all complain about watermarks and how obnoxious they are, but dont even think about why I do it. It's because of A-Holes like this who will screen my work, steal my photos, etc, that I've spent gas money to get, thousands on cameras, and maintenance on equipment and time and effort and sweat to capture these images. All for it to get stolen and to make other people money, and I don't see a dime of it.

Of course, there are people who will laugh and joke and find this funny because they are heartless and don't understand the effort that goes into doing this stuff. The relationships that have to be built. The trust that has to be earned to get the information, to get the access to be able to tell these stories.

Think of it like this, image you're a heart surgeon, you've spent 18 hours doing a transplant, nearly lost your patient numerous times but fought to keep them with us. Then, some medical school nurse at your hospital walks in, ties the final suture, and collects your paycheck for the transplant. You did all the work, but they get all of the glory. That's what it's like for me when my stuff is stolen like this. People that put 0 effort into anything get the paycheck I worked hard for.

I've been thinking today, (yes it hurt) you know what Tarrant county truly needs? More apartments, warehouses, coffee shops and chicken places. I think we're approaching our max on oil change shops though.

He estado pensando hoy, (sí, me dolió) ¿sabes lo que el condado de Tarrant realmente necesita? Más apartamentos, almacenes, cafeterías y gallineros. Creo que nos estamos acercando a nuestro máximo en las tiendas de cambio de aceite.

3rd arrest made in May 4th robbery turned murder

28 year old Ricky Wilders was arrested and charged with murder Monday morning for his involvement in the May 4th shooting at a house on the 5400 block of Blackmore Ave. Previously, 31-year-old Kennard Ivory (arrested August 12th) and Jerome Watkins (arrested August 14th) were arrested by FWPD for the shooting that ended up claiming the life of a 55 year old male who has since been identified as Claude Smith. Fort Worth PD originally released that On Sunday, May 4, 2025, at 0045 hours, West units were dispatched to 6100 Harris Pkwy responding to a shooting call with a report of a victim who arrived at the hospital with a gunshot wound.

Upon arrival, officers met with the victim, who sustained a gunshot wound to the back. The victim is being treated by medical personnel at the hospital, and the victim is believed to be in critical condition at this time.

It is currently believed the incident occurred during an attempted robbery, and the circumstances surrounding the incident continue to be investigated.

The victim, Claude Smith, later died from injuries on June 13th.

After a lengthy investigation, murder charges were issued for all 3 males.

In an arrest affidavit provided by FWPD, it states that on May 3rd, Mr Smith had been to a gambling house on the 5400 block of Blackmore Dr, where he won a significant amount of money The affidavit said that the next day, Mr Smith returned back to the house to the next day. While at the house; 2 armed men entered the home, and as Mr Smith tried to run for safety, he was shot numerous times in the back and was then robbed. After the males left the home, other people at the home picked up Mr Smith and took him to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries. He died a month later due to complications from gunshot wounds.

After a lengthy investigation, both Ivory and Watkins were found to be involved in the shooting and robbery. All 3 face charges of Capital Murder by terror threat / other felony.

Ivory currently sits in Tarrant County jail with a $400,000 bond. Watkins made bail and is currently out of jail. Wilder has yet to see a judge.

Tercer arresto realizado en mayo, el robo convertido en as*****to el 4 de mayo.

Ricky Wilders, de 28 años, fue arrestado y acusado de as*****to el lunes por la mañana por su participación en el tiroteo del 4 de mayo en una casa de la cuadra 5400 de Blackmore Ave. Anteriormente, Kennard Ivory, de 31 años (detenido el 12 de agosto) y Jerome Watkins (detenido el 14 de agosto) fueron arrestados por FWPD por el tiroteo que terminó cobrando la vida de un hombre de 55 años que desde entonces ha sido identificado como Claude Smith. Fort Worth PD publicó originalmente que el domingo 4 de mayo de 2025, a las 0045 horas, las unidades de West fueron enviadas al 6100 Harris Pkwy respondiendo a una llamada de tiro con un informe de una víctima que llegó al hospital con una herida de bala.
Al llegar, los oficiales se reunieron con la víctima, que sufrió una herida de bala en la espalda. La víctima está siendo tratada por personal médico en el hospital, y se cree que la víctima se encuentra en estado crítico en este momento.

Actualmente se cree que el incidente ocurrió durante un intento de robo, y las circunstancias que rodearon el incidente continúan siendo investigadas.

La víctima, Claude Smith, murió más tarde a causa de heridas el 13 de junio.

Después de una larga investigación, se emitieron cargos de as*****to para los tres hombres.
En una declaración jurada de arresto proporcionada por FWPD, se afirma que el 3 de mayo, el Sr. Smith había estado en una casa de apuestas en la cuadra 5400 de Blackmore Dr, donde ganó una cantidad significativa de dinero. Mientras estaba en la casa; 2 hombres armados entraron a la casa, y mientras el Sr. Smith intentaba correr por seguridad, le dispararon numerosas veces en la espalda y le robaron. Después de que los hombres abandonaron la casa, otras personas en la casa recogieron al Sr. Smith y lo llevaron a un hospital local para el tratamiento de sus heridas. Murió un mes después debido a complicaciones causadas por heridas de bala.

Después de una larga investigación, tanto Ivory como Watkins estuvieron involucrados en el tiroteo y el robo. Los tres enfrentan cargos de as*****to capital por amenaza terrorista/otros delitos graves.
