Date:

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.

Authorities said the man who was shot had been accused of approaching children with sexual propositions prior to the shooting.

Police detained Marckus Renfro, who was identified as one of three individuals involved in the shooting. Renfro was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to Tarrant County jail records.

Investigators said two other individuals were present during the incident, though it was not immediately clear whether they would face charges.

The identity of the man who was shot has not been released.

Police said the investigation remains ongoing.
