OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 08/12/2022, at approximately 3:11 p.m., Richland Hills Police Department officers responded to the 7000 block of Hardisty Street after receiving multiple reports that a man was firing a rifle in the street. Officers from the North Richland Hills Police Department also responded to assist in the search.
Officers located 32-year-old Darrel Glen Hood near Boulevard 26 and Glenview Drive. According to investigators, Hood was carrying a semi-automatic rifle. Police reported that when officers attempted to contact him, he raised and pointed the rifle toward them. Multiple Richland Hills officers fired their weapons, striking Hood. Paramedics rendered aid, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner later identified him and ruled his death a homicide, the medical classification for a death caused by another person.
The Texas Rangers conducted the officer-involved shooting investigation, while the North Richland Hills and Haltom City police departments investigated the reports that Hood had fired shots before officers arrived. Court records showed Hood had been arrested two days earlier on aggravated assault and unlawful carrying of a weapon charges and was released from jail shortly after midnight on the day of the shooting.
