On August 1, 2020, 17-year-old Madison Fisher-Brenes, a female from Bedford, Texas, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest in the parking lot of a CVS pharmacy located at 601 N. Industrial Boulevard. She was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The incident occurred around 6:15 p.m. when Madison and a friend had arranged to meet someone to sell THC vape cartridges. During the transaction, an argument broke out, and Madison was shot in the chest by the suspect.
The suspect, a juvenile whose identity has not been disclosed, was later arrested on suspicion of capital murder. The suspect was located in Groesbeck, Texas, and is currently being held at the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center. The Bedford Police Department has stated that this appears to be an isolated incident and not a random attack. They are continuing to investigate the case and are hoping that witnesses will come forward with more information.
The investigation revealed that Madison and her friend had arranged the meeting through social media to sell the illegal THC vape cartridges. When they arrived at the CVS parking lot, one of the suspects got into their vehicle, and during an argument, Madison was shot in the upper torso. The police have described the suspects as two black males who were seen in a silver vehicle departing the scene. The Bedford Police Department is canvassing surrounding businesses for surveillance video and urging anyone with information to come forward.
This tragic incident has left the community in shock, and the Bedford Police Department is committed to pursuing the case to the fullest extent. They have emphasized the dignity and worth of all individuals, regardless of their involvement in illegal activities, and are determined to bring justice for Madison Fisher-Brenes and her family.
