Three men have been arrested after a security guard was hurt in a shooting Thursday night at an Arlington apartment complex, police said.
The three individuals charged in the shooting incident are 31-year-old Felix Barrientos, 28-year-old Juan Magallanes and 24-year-old David Garcia.
Officers allege all three men were involved in the shooting incident at the Las Lomas Apartments, according to the Arlington police.
Officials said it is believed they initially went to the complex to fire celebratory gunshots into the air for New Year’s Eve.
An Arlington police officer had been there reviewing security footage with the victim and another security guard in connection to a different shooting when they heard gunshots outside, officials said.
They were inside the leasing office on the 800 block of Timberlake Drive at the time.
As they went outside, they saw four people firing a rifle off, police told WFAA.
The guards and officer confronted them, at which point one of the people firing the rifle turned around and shot multiple rounds in the direction of the officer and armed guards, according to police.
One of those rounds grazed a guard and caused a minor injury, police said.
All three shot back towards the gunfire, according to police. The guards fired a combined total of 31 rounds between them, while the officer fired her weapon three times.
Officials do not believe at this time that the gunfire from the officer or guards hit anyone.
The four people fled the scene in a vehicle. As they were driving away, additional responding officers passed the vehicle. Police say as they were making a U-turn, one of the suspects jumped out with the rifle and ran away.
The three people in the car were arrested.
Barrientos was charged with one count of fleeing a police officer. He was driving when officers tried to initiate the traffic stop, according to police.
Magallanes was charged with one count of discharge of a firearm in certain municipalities, police said. He also had two misdemeanor warrants out of Haltom City.
Garcia was charged with one count of discharge of a firearm in certain municipalities. Officials said he had an outstanding warrant due to a traffic infraction in Arlington as well.
Investigators believe a fourth individual was with them at the time of the shooting, and that person may be in possession of the firearm used during the offense. They are currently working to identify and locate him along with the rifle that was used.
Additional charges are pending the outcome of the investigation.
"This is going to require a lot of investigation," Lt. Christopher Cook told WFAA.
Surveillance footage and the officer's body camera captured much of the incident, police said.
Police are asking anyone with information to call Det. Julia Hall at 817-459-5325. Those who want to remain anonymous can call Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477.
