PRESS RELEASE
On October 20th, 2026, Parker County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call for service in southern Parker County in reference to a possible shooting incident. Sheriff Russ Authier said a review of dispatch records indicated the initial call came in at 8:15AM, and the first Deputy arrived on scene within seven minutes. Sheriff Authier praised the rapid response of both Telecommunicators and Deputies.
Sergeant Shane Cartwright, Public Information Officer for the Parker County Sheriff’s Office explained that upon arrival, Sheriff’s Deputies quickly located two victims, each suffering from apparent gunshot injuries. Both victims were treated on scene by EMS and transported to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth for medical treatment. Early in the investigation it was revealed that Ozzy Isidro Fierros, 22 years old, was the sole suspect responsible for the shooting. It was learned that an argument between Fierros and one of the victims prompted Fierros to fire a single shot which struck the first victim, passed through the first victim, before striking and lodging in the second victim. Fierros then fled the scene on foot. Investigators quickly established a perimeter and began tracking Fierros. The Parker County Hospital District and the Parker County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office deployed drones and drone pilots to assist in the manhunt. Texas Parks and Wildlife deployed a K9 tracking dog into the search area, which led investigators to a fi***rm believed to have been used by Fierros, which he either dropped, or discarded in the woods while fleeing. Once Investigators exhausted search efforts and determined Fierros was no longer in the immediate search area, a tip from the public was received indicating Fierros was in Weatherford. Law enforcement personnel located Fierros at a business near Hwy 51 and FM 920, at which time he was taken into custody without incident. During an interview with Fierros, he provided a full confession to Investigators. Fierros has currently been charged with Aggravated Assault with Deadly Weapon-Causing Serious Bodily Injury-Family Member, 1st Degree Felony and Aggravated Assault with Deadly Weapon-Causing Serious Bodily Injury, 2nd Degree Felony. Kelly Green, Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 set bonds on Fierros totaling one million ($1,000,000.00) dollars. Fierros was booked into the Parker County Jail, where he currently is awaiting additional charges. Sheriff Authier would like to thank the Texas Rangers, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas DPS Highway Patrol and Criminal Investigations Division, Parker County Hospital District EMS, Parker County Precinct 3 Constables Office, and the Weatherford Police Department for their assistance during this investigation.
