FORT WORTH, Texas — Fort Worth police are looking for multiple suspects involved in a robbery attempt that turned deadly Monday afternoon.
Officials say officers were dispatched at about noon to a home in the 3600 block of College Avenue. That is near Laughton Street and West Butler Street.
When police arrived to the scene, they found the victim, 18-year-old John Paul Morin, in a bedroom with several gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives determined that multiple suspects tried to rob the home and at least one of them shot Morin. They then fled in a light-color vehicle.
Morin's family said Morin had an infectious smile and loving personality, and that he would offer shelter and food to homeless people while living at his College Avenue home.
His family also said Morin loved football and was known in his neighborhood for sheltering stray animals.
The family has started a fundraiser to help pay for Morin's funeral expenses. Anyone who wishes to donate can do so here.
No other information is available as of Wednesday afternoon.
