    FORT WORTH, Texas -

    A gasoline truck driver was shot and killed outside a convenience store early Thursday morning.

    His body was discovered around 4 a.m. in the parking lot of the Quick Trip on Bryant Irving Road, south of Interstate 20 in Fort Worth.

    Someone noticed he was not moving inside his cab even though all his gasoline hoses were in place.

    Police said he died from a gunshot wound that did not appear to be self-inflicted.

    So far there have been no arrests and no information about a suspect was released.

    Dallas Fort Worth. The safest place ever. Glad I don't run Texas very often and DFW never.

    Some worthless POS assumed the driver had at least $60 and 1 credit card on him and he could get to Walmart, buy what he wanted and get home before anyone was the wiser, so that's worth killing another person. He will pawn the merchandise and buy a few rocks later that day. But let's not get too gung-ho about getting these individuals off the streets. We want to treat these individuals with as much respect as possible and not upset them :biggrin_25523:

    This is exactly why fuel delivery feels sketchy. It's not a secure facility to unload at. Any crackhead can roll up on you and you would be none the wiser.

    Arrest was made. CCTV footage showed a white Mustang leaving the scene. Driver was arrested while watching the crime scene activities in the same Mustang. Looked like a rich punk white kid. I'll provide a link ASAP.
