A man accused of shooting another man in the groin at an apartment complex in Fort Worth has been arrested, police said.

Officers were dispatched around 11:43 a.m. April 3 to the 3700 block of Century Place after receiving reports of a man who appeared to be under the influence and was allegedly soliciting minors for sexual favors, according to the Fort Worth Police Department.

As officers arrived at the scene, they heard a gunshot. Moments later, they located a man matching the original suspect description who had suffered a gunshot wound to the groin. He was transported to a hospital and is listed in stable condition, police said.
