A man who police say stole two different trucks, stabbed someone and killed two pedestrians in Fort Worth has been identified.
Fort Worth police say Chassity Brooks is behind bars this morning. His alleged crime spree started yesterday around noon with a stabbing on Las Vegas Trail.
Fort Worth Police Chief Neil Noakes says after the stabbing, Brooks stole the victim’s truck and drove it into a game room, killing someone inside. Then he drove away from the game room and hit a woman sitting at a bus stop about a mile down the road, killing her.
At that point, police say Brooks carjacked a different truck and continued fleeing until he was finally cornered in a neighborhood along Autumn Park Road.
SWAT teams had to tear gas him to get him to come out of the truck.
Brooks has been arrested on a slew of charges, including murder.
The person who was stabbed is in critical condition.
"This is another reminder of the dangers that officers see every day out here," Noakes said. "It's another reminder of the dangers of some people in the street and our neighborhoods who are committing violent crimes like this and I commend the officers who were involved for doing what they could to take this person off the street."
