Police arrest suspect in connection with killing of 15-year-old boy shot in Fort Worth apartment complex

Police have arrested a 22-year-old man on suspicion of murder in connection with the killing of a 15-year-old boy in south Fort Worth in May.

Tedarius McGruder was arrested Sunday in the death of Xavier Hullaby, who was shot in an alleyway of an apartment complex in the 7900 block of Joshua Drive.

In October, police arrested another suspect, Dwayne Gould, in the May 29 murder. He is 19 years old. A grand jury indicted Gould on murder charges in November. The case is pending in the 297th District Court in Tarrant County.

Hullaby's death was caused by multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Tarrant County Coroner's Office. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police have not commented publicly on the alleged motive for the murder. Because the investigation is ongoing, they refused on Monday to release the arrest warrant affidavit, a document in which a detective describes evidence that he believes justifies an arrest.
