Tragedy in Fort Worth: Aliyah Miles Fatally Shot in Apparent Ambush
FORT WORTH, Texas — A tragic and violent early morning incident has left one woman dead and another wounded after a shooting erupted at a Fort Worth apartment complex on Sunday, August 3, 2025. The Fort Worth Police Department has identified the deceased victim as Aliyah Miles, whose life was cut short in a hail of gunfire under still-unfolding circumstances.
Officers were dispatched around 3:45 a.m. to the 1800 block of E. Robert Street after reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, police discovered Miles inside a vehicle, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite emergency response efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to preliminary investigations, Miles and another woman — who has not been publicly identified — had reportedly gone to the apartment complex to confront a group of women already present at the location. As their vehicle, driven by the surviving victim, approached the group, unidentified individuals opened fire, riddling the car and both occupants with bullets.
The shooter or shooters, as well as those involved in the altercation, fled the scene before police arrived. In a disturbing development shortly after the shooting, another gunshot victim arrived at a local hospital and is believed to be connected to the same violent episode. That individual’s condition and identity have not yet been released.
The Fort Worth Police Department’s Homicide Unit is actively investigating the case, working to confirm the identities of those involved and to determine what led to the confrontation and ensuing gunfire. As of Monday morning, no arrests have been made.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the shooting to contact the Fort Worth Police Department or Crime Stoppers. Anonymous tips may qualify for a cash reward.
