Multiple shootings across Fort Worth late Saturday night and Sunday morning killed at least one person and injured two others, according to the Fort Worth Police Department.
The first of the shootings took place about 10:30 p.m. the night of Oct. 12 in the 4300 block of Kyleigh Drive, in south Fort Worth, police said.
When they arrived at the scene, officers found a deceased victim lying on the ground in a residential driveway, a police spokesperson said.
The suspect in that shooting was on the scene as well and detained by officers, police said.
An investigation found that several women had been involved in an altercation at the residence prior to the shooting, police said.

Two suspects were apprehended after a vehicle chase near West Freeway and University Drive, officials said.
The victim’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, and the Fort Worth Police Department’s Robbery Unit is investigating, police said.
Officers responded to a third shooting shortly after 9 a.m. in the 1000 block of East 9th Street, east of downtown.
Police said in a news release that “two transient individuals” got in an argument over personal property. During the argument, one person fired a gun and the shot grazed a man on the arm, police said.
The man who was shot was taken to a hospital. The suspect remains at large, and the Gun Violence Unit is investigating.
