Fort Worth Intruder Who Was Under an Active Protective Order Is Killed After a Resident Walks In on Him
A resident came home Saturday afternoon to find a man already inside the house, and the fight that followed ended with both men shot and the intruder dead, according to Fort Worth police.
The Fort Worth Police Department confirmed on X that its public information officer was headed to the 6900 block of Misty Glen Court for the shooting. Police said the shooting was reported at 3:30 p.m. on Misty Glen Court near Interstate 30 and East Loop 820, that a resident returned home and found an intruder inside, that a physical fight broke out between the two men, and that both drew firearms and fired at each other, as reported by FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth. Neighbors told reporters they heard an altercation coming from the home shortly before the gunshots.
Both men were struck. The intruder died at the scene. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him as 29-year-old Darius Levy. The resident was taken to a local hospital. His condition was not available, and his name has not been released.
Investigators said Levy had an active protective order filed against him connected to another resident of the home, but not the resident who was in the fight. A protective order is a court order telling a named person to stay away from another person. It creates legal consequences after it is broken, and that is the whole of what it does. It does not lock a door and it cannot put itself between the person it protects and the man it names.
