15-year-old killed, another person injured after fight leads to stabbing in Fort Worth, police say

A 15-year-old was killed, and another person was taken to the hospital after being stabbed during a fight, the Fort Worth Police Department confirmed. 

The teen killed has been identified as Jacob De La Rosa by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's records.

Fort Worth PD said just before 3:45 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, officers responded to a stabbing/cutting call in the 2700 block of E. Rosedale Street. When they arrived, officers said everyone involved in the incident had already left.

Officers learned that De La Rosa was transported from the scene after being injured and was later pronounced dead. A second victim, who has not been identified, was also taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Officers later found a juvenile who admitted to being involved in the incident and to "cutting other persons in self-defense during a physical altercation," Fort Worth PD told CBS News Texas in a statement.

The department has not provided any details about charges at this time, but said the crime is still under investigation.
