FORT WORTH, Texas — A man who was wanted in connection with a deadly weekend shooting in Fort Worth has been arrested in Bexar County, according to the Fort Worth Police Department. 

Juan Armando Gallardo, 45, was wanted on a warrant for capital murder of multiple people, according to a news release from Fort Worth Police. He is accused of shooting three people, killing two of them, at a home in southeast Fort Worth.

Before Gallardo was found, investigators believed that he had already fled to Mexico, or was in the process of doing so, police said.

The shooting happened on Saturday, Sept. 30, at a home in the 700 block of House Street, near East Lancaster Avenue and Oakland Boulevard. 

According to a redacted arrest warrant for Gallardo, an officer arrived to the home at 3:40 p.m. and found two of the victims in the backyard. Paramedics also arrived to the scene, but both victims were pronounced dead shortly after.

Another victim was treated at a hospital and released.

Gallardo's warrant says the victims were part of a crew that was hired to demolish a trailer in that backyard. 

Witnesses told detectives that Gallardo lived next door to the home. He was out mowing his backyard when he "became angry" with the crew. He then pulled a pistol out of his pocket and shot at them before running inside his home.

No other information is available.
