Christopher Redic and Brandon Williams suspected in Fort Worth shooting
He said there could be additional arrests. Police had previously said that several men fired indiscriminately into the crowd. The shooting broke out about two hours after the end of an Independence Day celebration called ComoFest in the historically black neighborhood. The celebration had been held in a park several blocks from where the shots were fired.
Police have said the shooting on Horne Street was “separate and unrelated to ComoFest.” The three people killed were Paul Willis, 18, Cynthia Santos, 22, and Gabriella Navarrete, 18, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. It was not clear if Redic or Williams had attorneys to represent them.

After ComoFest’s inaugural celebration in 2021, eight people were shot and wounded near a car wash in the area. Noakes said police have been discussing with the community what the gathering “should look like in the future.” “That after party, so to speak, won’t look the same,” he said.
The neighborhood has held an annual July 4th parade for more than 70 years. The parade began Tuesday morning, with people gathering along the street where the shooting took place the night before.
Noakes called Como “one of Fort Worth’s most historic and beloved communities” and said that in the face of the shooting, he “stood strong, came together and loved each other.” A series of shootings across the US over the 4th of July weekend has raised fear in communities across the country.
