Sansom Park police say a 16-year-old suspect arrested in the shooting death of Logan Perkins, 24, robbed the victim of a gun and marijuana from his apartment.
Sansom Park police say a 16-year-old suspect arrested in a fatal shooting from late February also robbed the victim after killing him, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Logan Perkins, 24, was found shot and unresponsive on Feb. 29 at his apartment in the 3100 block of La Junta Street, according to police. Officers took a 16-year-old into custody Friday in connection to Perkins’ homicide.
According to surveillance video obtained by police, a young man wearing a white hoodie — later identified by police as the suspect — was seen on Feb. 28 physically fighting with an unidentified woman near the apartment complex where Perkins was found.
About a minute later, Perkins was seen arriving at his apartment, and two people — including the teen wearing a white hoodie — later approached the same building, according to the warrant.
Surveillance video further showed that the suspect and Perkins were speaking outside his apartment before they both entered the home. Minutes later, the suspect is seen fleeing from the apartment and a moan is heard from Perkins’ home, the warrant says.
Two other people were also seen approaching the apartment shortly after Perkins was shot, according to police.
The 911 caller is the last person seen on the video arriving at the apartment on Feb. 29, the same time he reported to police that he found Perkins unresponsive.
The caller told police that the suspect told him that he killed Perkins, the warrant states.
The suspect also told the caller that he shot the victim three or four times, took a handgun from Perkins, and took marijuana from his apartment, according to the warrant.
The cause of Perkins’ death was multiple gunshot wounds, and the death was ruled a homicide by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Due to his age, no other information will be released regarding the suspect’s identity.
