2 arrested, charged with capital murder in fatal Grand Prairie shooting of 18-year-old
Two male suspects were arrested and charged with capital murder in a shooting that killed an 18-year-old, the Grand Prairie Police Department announced in a news release Saturday.
Around 10:40 p.m. Thursday, the Grand Prairie police arrived at the Medical City Emergency Room in Grand Prairie located in the 5200 block of Lake Ridge.
At the emergency room, officers found a male with an apparent gunshot wound who had been transported to the location by his friends, police said in a news release Friday.
The victim, identified as Simon Nguyen, 18, was pronounced dead by the emergency room staff.
Detectives determined the suspect, later identified as 19-year-old Nathan Nix, and Nguyen, who knew each other, met in the 1000 block of Coffeyville Trail.
Nguyen and Nix were “engaged in possible high-risk activity when a disturbance between them occurred,” police said in the initial release. The disturbance escalated and resulted in Nguyen being shot.
Nix was apprehended Friday by the United States Marshal Service North Texas Fugitive Task Force without incident.
Nakarius Hall, 19, was arrested by Grand Prairie police Saturday at his Arlington home.
The investigation pointed to Hall as an accomplice in the homicide of Nguyen, according to the release Saturday.
Both Nix and Hall are being held at the Grand Prairie Detention Center on charges of capital murder.
