Two Women, Child Shot in Fort Worth
Three people, including a child and a pregnant woman, were shot in Fort Worth on Monday.
Fort Worth police have arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting that killed four people Monday night, including an unborn child.
According to police, Chanice Renee Reed, 21, Annette Carroll Reed, 39 and Eddie McCuin, 10, were shot at about 6:15 p.m. on the 2900 block of Pate Drive.
All three of the victims were taken to different hospitals for treatment, including Chanice Reed who was 32-34 weeks pregnant. Doctors were unable to save any of the victims, including Reed's unborn child.
Fort Worth police have arrested 22-year-old Amos Wells in connection with the shooting and have charged him with capital murder. Wells is currently being held on a $2 million bond after turning himself in to police.
Family members of the victims said Wells is the boyfriend of Chanice Reed as well as the father of her unborn child. They struggle to understand how someone they've known for so long is now accused of killing four of their family members.
"How could you? How could you take away innocent lives like that?" said family member Monique Myers.
Myers said she just talked with her cousin Chanice on Monday about Amos Wells, her on-again, off-again boyfriend.
"She told me he was controlling. He didn't like her being with her own family. I talked to her and said, 'Chanice, leave him,'" Myers said, who added that she never thought the couple's problems would end with a deadly shooting.
The victim's family told NBC 5 that Wells shot Chanice's mom, Ann, in the yard before confronting and shooting her at the front door. Afterward, family members said he killed Ann's youngest child, Eddie McCuin.
"He just shot her point blank, because she was in the door, went into the room and shot my cousin, Eddie, three times," Myers said. "You're going to have a child yourself. For you to kill the mom, mother of your child, her brother, you don't have a heart. It's going to be a cold day in hell."
NBC 5 was there as tension flared as Monique and several other family members crossed the police barricade and ran to the family's home.
"At that time, we didn't know anything. We just took off running," said mother Shauna Myers-Berry.
The scuffle with police got Shauna's son and other daughter arrested for assault and interfering with officers guarding the crime scene.
"The only thing we were thinking, don't stop us, tell us what's going on," Monique Myers said.
They now know in an instant, they've gone from planning a baby shower to planning four funerals.
"You love a person, you're not supposed to hurt them. That's not the way, just not the way," said Shauna Myers-Berry.
Police reports show Jermey Myers, 20, was arrested for assaulting an officer and Kalie Myers, 18, was arrested for interfering with police duties for impeding officers trying to guard the crime scene.
NBC 5's Ben Russell and Kendra Lyn contributed to this report.
