Father and son arrested after security guard killed in Fort Worth, police say

Fort Worth Police arrested a father and son in connection with the shooting death of a security guard in the southeast part of the city early Sunday morning.

Officers responded to a restaurant on Miller Avenue near Highway 287 at around 5:45 a.m. where they found a security guard and a woman who had been shot.

The security guard, identified as 38-year-old Dominique Coleman, had been working at a nightclub and crossed the street to confront some customers from the club, police said. That is when the suspect, 21-year-old Dadrian Freeman, shot Coleman multiple times, including in the back of the head, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. 

Dadrian Freeman also shot a woman who was involved, then struck her on the head with the butt of his gun, police said. He then left the scene, along with his father Dedrian Freeman, 46, and brother Dedrian Freeman, Jr., 22. 

Coleman was declared dead at the scene. Police said the woman who was shot faced a non-life-threatening injury and was treated at a hospital.

Homicide detectives were able to identify a suspect vehicle which led them to the suspects, FWPD said. Officers served a warrant in Dallas County and arrested Dadrian Freeman on charges of murder and aggravated assault. They also arrested Dedrian Freeman for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and an active warrant for a parole violation. 

Officers also arrested Dedrian Freeman Jr., who had an active warrant out of Collin County for a felony deadly conduct charge.

As of last update, records show that Dedrian Freeman and Dedrian Freeman Jr. are in custody at the Tarrant County Corrections Center, while Dadrian Freeman is being held at the FWPD Detention Facility.
