Fort Worth police say a man was shot outside Hulen Mall on Saturday afternoon and the suspect has been taken into custody.

Officers were called around 2 p.m. to 4700 S. Hulen Street after receiving calls about a shooting, according to the Fort Worth Police Department.

Victim found near Macy's and Red Robin

Police said they were directed to a grassy area outside the mall between Macy's and Red Robin, where they found an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound to his leg. 

Authorities said an off‑duty officer from another agency and off‑duty medical personnel were already helping the victim before Fort Worth Fire and EMS arrived to provide treatment.

Victim hospitalized with non‑life‑threatening injury

According to police, the man was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries not considered life‑threatening. 

Investigators said preliminary findings show the victim was approaching the area when another adult male pulled out a firearm and shot him. 

Police said they believe the two men know each other.

The department said its Gun Violence Unit is interviewing witnesses, while patrol officers and the Directed Response Unit are working to identify the suspect.

On Sunday, police tracked down 21-year-old Kyonte Mitchell, Fort Worth Police Chief Eddie Garcia said. 

Mitchell faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Garcia said that Mitchell already had an outstanding warrant for the same charge in a separate incident.

"Thanks to our hard-working officers, " Garcia said in a post on X, "he's off the streets, and he's not going anywhere!"
