Chilling surveillance video captures deadly shooting outside Fort Worth restaurant

FORT WORTH, Texas — A man who stopped at a Fort Worth restaurant was fatally shot in their vehicle Thursday night, police said.

The incident happened late Thursday night outside the Louisiana Fried Chicken and Seafood restaurant, located off East Loop 820 and Ramey Avenue. Police said officers responded to a shooting call and found the victim was seated in a pickup truck in front of the restaurant.

Police said it appeared that someone drove up to the vehicle and fired shots at the victim, who was hit multiple times. 

Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as 36-year-old Kevin Hernandez.

Off camera, family members told WFAA the victim and one of the suspects accused of killing him are half-brothers.

WFAA obtained video of the shooting. It shows an SUV driving up to a parked truck. Two people inside hop out with guns. They run directly at the truck, firing more than a dozen rounds.

A short time later, SWAT officers were called to a nearby home, and two people were taken into custody. Jail records later confirmed that 17-year-old Giovany Hernandez-Tafoya was arrested in the case. He was charged as an adult for murder. Fort Worth Police said a juvenile was arrested as well.

Fort Worth PD is investigating the case, and the motive remains unknown.
