Trackdown: Do you recognize these Fort Worth aggravated robbery suspects?
The Brief
Fort Worth police are looking for two aggravated robbery suspects who robbed and shot at a man after asking him for water.
The male and female suspects were caught on video fleeing the victim's apartment.
If you recognize them, call Det. Olson at 817-392-4377.
FORT WORTH, Texas - On this week's Trackdown, Fort Worth police are looking for the couple who asked a man for help. When he opened his door to let them in, they pulled a gun on him, robbed him and shot at him.
What we know
The aggravated robbery happened recently in the 2300 block of Tudor Drive.
"Two individuals described as a Hispanic female in her 20s and a light-skinned Black male knock at the door, asked for a glass of water, forced their way into the apartment, put a gun to this gentleman's head – right to his head, Shaun – and then demanded his money," said Officer Buddy Calzada with the Fort Worth Police Department.
The video shows the struggle that ensued and then the suspects fleeing through a window.
And as they go out the window, they turn around and shoot at the victim. He's forced to dodge the bullets.
"Amazingly, you know you hear about it in Western movies how you can dance and dodge bullets? This dodging saved his life," Officer Calzada said.
What we don't know
Police need help identifying the two suspects who are known to hang out around the 1300 block of East Seminary near the vape shops and hotels.
They're hoping someone from that general area recognizes them in the video.
"You're going to know them. You're going to know that they possibly have a gun, and you can know that they've probably done some of these crimes before due to just going up asking somebody for water for some help and then taking advantage of them," Calzada said.
What they're saying
Officer Calzada said the thing that bothers him the most is that the couple used deadly force even after taking something from somebody.
He's hoping to get them identified and get them behind bars before they do the same kind of thing again.
What you can do
Anyone who recognizes the man or woman in the video should call Det. Olson at 817-392-4377.

10 years after Charleston church massacre, faith leaders lament that the country hasn't changed
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- People of faith gathered again at Mother Emanuel AME on Tuesday just like they did 10 years ago, searching for God's truth and His love in the church fellowship hall. On that horrible night in 2015, nine Black church members were gunned down by a white man who hated them just for the color of their skin. He sat with them through their Bible study, then as they closed their eyes and bowed their heads, he started firing. As survivors gathered in 2025, they invited another congregation that knows the pain of murderous hatred to join them. When a gunman killed 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in 2018, Mother Emanuel's pastor, the Rev. Eric Manning, flew to Pittsburgh to comfort another flock. It was up to Rabbi Jeff Myers to lament Tuesday that the world hasn't changed as much as was hoped by the congregation of the South's oldest African American church, which was founded by enslaved people, torn down after they rebelled and then rebuilt following the Civil War. 'Both of us were assaulted by Americans who did not want us to exist, who thought violence would solve their problems,' Myers said. Then he read the portion of the U.S. Declaration of Independence that starts with 'we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.' 'Except for the Jews and the Blacks. That's how I feel in America right now,' Myers said. Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly said American society combines hate and guns in a stew that threatens the country's existence. 'We know that hate is dangerous. But hate with a gun in its hand is deadly,' said Kelly, who was joined at the Mother Emanuel pulpit by his wife, former U.S. House member Gabby Giffords, who was gravely wounded in a January 2011 mass shooting in Arizona. The Charleston church massacre did change the world in some ways. The shooter, now on death row just like the killer at Tree of Life, posted selfie photos with a Confederate flag to hammer home his racist reasons for shooting Black parishioners. For many, this act made it impossible to keep defending the rebel banner as a symbol of southern heritage. South Carolina then took the flag down from the Statehouse grounds where it was installed as a rebuttal to federal desegregation orders. But some things are the same. Mother Emanuel's sanctuary still has the same deep red carpet. The church continues its mission of empathy, empowerment, encouragement and equipping. And the nation still struggles with the legacy of enslaving Black people for hundreds of years. South Carolina remains one of only two states in the U.S. without a hate crime law even though survivors keep pushing for it. Months before the massacre at Mother Emanuel, a white North Charleston police officer shot and killed an unarmed Black man in the back about 10 miles (16 kilometers) away. Six years later, a white officer knelt on a Black man's neck in Minnesota for nine minutes, killing him. 'On paper, the concept of the United States is a wonderful one. In reality, it is not successful right now,' Rabbi Myers said. Mother Emanuel member Marvin Stewart has tried to emulate the love he saw in his nine friends killed that night. 'Unfortunately, the present time is very demoralizing and very challenging with the political divide. As I sat in church today, and I keep hearing the word forgiveness, I said, 'am I in that space?' I would use the word acceptance as the space I'm in,' Stewart said after the service. One hymn was sung Tuesday. It was 'Amazing Grace' — the spiritual that Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president, began singing at the memorial service for the nine victims, held just blocks from Gadsden's Wharf, where an estimated 40% of enslaved Africans first touched U.S. soil. Rapturous applause rained down when survivors of the shooting and relatives of the people killed were asked to stand and be seen. Chris Singleton, whose mother Sharonda Coleman-Singleton was killed, asked everyone to 'hug somebody who looks different than you,' and for several minutes the packed sanctuary was abuzz with smiling people, arms reaching over pews and hugs spilling into aisles. Large photos of those killed were on display in the sanctuary — pillars of the community who included the church's pastor who was a state senator, a high school track coach, the church sexton, a librarian and an aspiring poet. The shooter sprayed more than 70 bullets to kill them — and told Polly Sheppard he was leaving her alive so that the world would know his motive: "You're taking over our country. And you have to go.' He failed, the Rev. Manning said: People of faith are still here, working together for good through God. 'Let the memory of the Emanuel Nine be a light that guides us not only to remembrance, but also to renewal and change,' he said.

Alex Jones Goes Full Conspiracy Theorist & Flips Out Over Minnesota Shooter Being A 'Huge Trump Supporter'
Source: Connecticut Post/Hearst Newspapers / Getty Alex Jones, the right-wing conspiracy theorist and wearer of the world's sturdiest aluminium foil cap, has lost his mind once again after the recent shootings of two Democratic lawmakers. If you think that Jones was upset because Minnesota House Democratic leader Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their home, then you don't know Alex Jones. Jones, who still hasn't paid Sandy Hook parents their $50 million for the horrible things he said about the death of their children, is drumming up more crazy narratives because that's his brand. Jones has called the shootings a 'false flag' and even had the audacity to claim that he's 'not the conspiracy theory guy.' Jones claims that because the shooter was wearing a disguise then it's not who police believe it is. 'He's wearing a plastic mask. If you can believe it's him. This thing smells of some type of sophisticated operation,' he said, Raw Story reports. He added, 'I said, let me see who these two Democrat lawmakers are that got shot… And what did they know? What were they about to release on Tim Walz? How do we know that wasn't a CCP operative with a rubber mask on, which they did.' Jones went on to ask, 'What did I tell you in the last six months?' 'False flag shootings on lawmakers, on homes, on illegal alien demonstrations, on Black churches… And then I said they'll find a dead body of a MAGA supporter so that they can't defend themselves. And here we are. He's a huge Trump supporter,' he added. If it all sounds very Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Machine, don't worry, you're not alone. Jones has a history of adding pieces that don't fit together and creating the world's most ridiculous word salad. It's kind of his thing. Watch the whole meltdown above (Oh, and if you're wondering, the video appears on Rumble because Jones is banned from any reputable video site. See social media's reaction to Jones' rant below.

Ice agents detain US citizen as LA immigration raids continue: ‘It's racial profiling'
US immigration raids continued to target southern California communities in recent days, including at a popular flea market and in a Los Angeles suburb where US citizens were detained. On Saturday, as mass protests swept the nation, including tens of thousands demonstrating in LA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents descended on a swap meet in Santa Fe Springs in southeast LA county. Video showed dozens of heavily armed, masked officers carrying out the raid before a scheduled concert at the long-running event that features vendors, food and entertainment every weekend Witnesses told the Los Angeles Times that agents appeared to be going after people who 'looked Hispanic in any way', sparking widespread fear. Related: Pussy Riot's founder built a 'police state' in an LA art gallery. Then the national guard arrived A US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said on Monday that it arrested two people at the swap meet who are now facing deportation. The crowd at the swap meet largely cleared out before a scheduled 5.30pm concert, which was ultimately canceled, leaving the site unusually empty for a spring Saturday. Another witness told ABC7 agents were asking attendees where they were from: 'I told them I was from the United States, and then they proceeded to walk away, and they took a picture of me … I took it as a personal threat.' The swap meet arrests came at the end of more than a week of sustained raids and Ice activity in the region that have targeted day laborers outside Home Depot, car washers, warehouse workers, people outside churches and other residents in public spaces. The raids have continued as Donald Trump has sent the national guard and marines to LA to respond to protests, despite the objections of California leaders, who have sued to stop a deployment they deem unconstitutional. Also over the weekend, video emerged of immigration actions in Montebello, a suburb east of the city of LA. Last Thursday, armed border patrol agents, who drove in an unmarked car, ended up detaining Jason Brian Gavidia and pressing him against a fence by an auto body shop he runs, the New York Times reported. An agent interrogated Gavidia, a US citizen, asking, 'What hospital were you born at?' Gavidia, 29, was born down the street, and video shows agents twisting his arm, as he said, 'I'm American! … I'll show you my ID. I was born here.' A witness filming the encounter is heard saying: 'Literally based off skin color.' Gavidia was released, but Javier Ramirez, another US citizen who is Gadivia's friend and coworker, was detained by two agents, forced facedown on the ground and taken to federal detention, where he has remained in custody, the New York Times reported. Salvador Melendez, the mayor of Montebello, a city that is 79% Latino, told the Guardian on Monday that the videos and reports of Ice in his community had caused widespread anxiety. 'This is racial profiling. They're stopping folks because of the way they look,' said Melendez. 'Ice agents are terrorizing our community. They are taking actions and asking questions later. There is absolutely no due process.' Ice agents were spotted in a small area of Montebello, the mayor said. 'But psychologically, they are already in our whole city. People are not going to work, not going out, not going to school. People don't want to ride the bus. It's extremely unfair … seeing Ice agents come in with these big guns, it almost feels like a war zone. They're militarized to apprehend folks and they rough up our people.' After millions protested Trump in national 'No Kings' demonstrations, the president pledged Sunday to escalate Ice raids in Democratic-run cities, including LA, Chicago and New York. 'Folks have to stay vigilant, we have to look out for one another. If you see something, alert your neighbors,' said Melendez. 'It's beautiful to see people coming together, helping their neighbors and rallying against this … This is not normal and we have to be outspoken.' Immigrant rights' lawyers have said that people detained in the raids have disappeared or had little contact with their attorneys or families. Amid the crackdown, residents across the region have increasingly gone into hiding, turning typically lively immigrant hubs desolate. DHS and border patrol did not respond to inquiries about the detentions in Montebello, but Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary, said in a press release Monday: 'DHS targets have nothing to do with an individuals' skin color. What makes someone a target is if they are in the United States illegally.' A spokesperson added in a statement to the Guardian: 'DHS and its components continue to enforce the law every day in greater Los Angeles and throughout the country … DHS agencies will not be deterred from the completion of our mission.' The Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass, has continued to keep a curfew in place for the downtown neighborhood that has been at the center of protests, but some activities in the center of the city have resumed, including theatrical performances. And while the national guard remains deployed, as the courts consider California's objections, many areas in the LA region were functioning relatively normally, with little sign of the protests and the aggressive federal response. But signs of the immigration crackdown are still being felt across the city. In LA's Koreatown, a dense immigrant neighborhood, street vendors have been staying home out of fear of raids, causing significant financial hardships, said Andreina Kniss, an organizer with Ktown for All, a mutual aid group. Volunteers identified more than 60 families of vendors out of work and fundraised more than $50,000 for them, she said. The group had distributed funds to 36 families covering a month of expenses, as of Monday morning, allowing vulnerable workers to stay home. 'We felt like we couldn't stand around and watch them have to make the choice between being kidnapped and paying their bills,' she said. 'The city is being held hostage economically, and it's not going to end until these Ice raids end.' She hoped to see mutual aid efforts expand: 'The $2,000 you raise for a family might prevent a family separation. It can change people's lives. We're just normal neighbors who care about neighbors.'
