Law enforcement personnel gather in front of the 19Twenty Apartments on North Ruddell Street after a man was shot there Sunday night.
Al Key/DRCThe Denton Police Department is investigating the city’s second homicide this year after a 22-year-old man was fatally shot Sunday night.
Police were dispatched to the 19Twenty Apartments on Ruddell Street after multiple people called around 9:02 p.m. to report hearing gunshots. No one had been arrested as of Monday evening.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim on Monday as 22-year-old Isaiah Dre-Von Harpe, but did not yet list a manner and cause of death.
Denton police spokesperson Allison Beckwith said investigators were still speaking with witnesses and didn’t yet have information about a possible suspect.
Officers arrived and found the 22-year-old with multiple gunshot wounds inside an apartment unit. He was found dead in his apartment, according to the medical examiner.
“[Paramedics] did not transport,” Beckwith said. “They arrived on scene and attempted life saving measures.”
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The shooting Sunday was the second homicide in Denton this year.
A 22-year-old man is accused of killing a woman who was pregnant at the time of her death on April 28. Police said the suspect, Simeon Bonilla-Rubio of Coppell, fled the shooting scene near Interstate 35E and McCormick Street and caught an Uber to Dallas, where the Dallas Police Department later found him.
Bonilla-Rubio was initially charged with murder, but the charge was later enhanced due to the victim’s pregnancy. Cassity Hinojosa, 19, was a Denton resident and died at a hospital from gunshot wounds to her neck, according to the medical examiner.
