North Texas prom night afterparty becomes a homicide investigation
FORT WORTH — The emergency surgeries could not save Daniel Olalde Moreno’s life early Sunday morning. His older brother Francisco said when he got to John Peter Smith Hospital, the 19-year-old was dead.
Olalde Moreno had five brothers and two sisters. He was next to the youngest son. Fransisco Olalde said his brother went to Polytech High School and helped his father do masonry work.
Nothing could help the Fort Worth man survive gunshot wounds to the liver. His family hopes to have services for him this week.
In the meantime, Fort Worth Police acknowledge the triple shooting is now a homicide investigation. Investigators said nothing else about the case.
A previous release of information confirmed the shooting of Moreno and two others at home in the 3900 block of Singleleaf Lane early Sunday morning just before 1 am.
“We’re not ok. It’s trauma,” Leonora Castillo said.
Her son, an Arlington Heights High School, had a party that was supposed to be for schoolmates. But word of the party somehow spread, Castillo said.
She said the uninvited guests got into a fight over dominoes or dice, which, according to Castillo, evolved into gunfire.
“They didn’t know my son, and they still showed up,” Castillo said. “But that’s what happens with those invites when they go out on social media or word of mouth even.”
CBS New Texas watched a surveillance video from one of her neighbor’s security systems. Marcos Wiggins did not want to release the video for safety reasons, but it shows partygoers running in the wake of gunfire, at least 12 seconds of shooting.
“I made my husband go and feel my baby completely,” Meagan Terry said. “We would have known, right? If our house got shot, right?”
As the couple checked their child in the baby monitor and did a physical body check, Moreno and two others got shot. The two others survived. Their ages and conditions have not been update.
Police said Sunday the two were in stable condition after arriving at JPS Hospital in a private vehicle.
By that time, Terry and her husband were talking with police, reflecting on moments of terror.
At one point, I was just hiding on the other side of my bed, just from my window to make sure it – like if it went through my front window that I wouldn’t be shot,” Terry said.
She said it was an experience that they’d never had in a neighborhood the family still considers safe.

Texas has reported 48 cases of Cyclospora, a foodborne illness caused by a parasite that health experts say can lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms.
Dr. David Winter, an internal medicine physician with Baylor Scott & White, said cyclospora infections typically increase during the summer. However, he said the current increase affecting several states could become the worst in years.
At least 20 people nationwide have been hospitalized with symptoms that can last for weeks.
“It’s really bad disease right now and sometimes you get in your intestines and that gives you these horrible cramps and gurgling and then diarrhea. In fact, the diarrhea is so bad, they call it explosive diarrhea,” Winter said.
Cyclospora is caused by a parasite rather than a virus or bacteria. Winter said the parasite multiplies inside the intestines, contributing to recurring symptoms.
“It’s a parasite. It’s not a virus, it is not bacteria. So the parasite, once it gets in your intestine, it starts to multiply. And then when it builds up a certain amount, then it comes out with this explosion, and then it starts multiply again,” Winter said.
The illness spreads through food or water contaminated with infected feces and is rarely transmitted from person to person.
The source of the current outbreak is unknown. Previous outbreaks have been linked to fresh fruits and vegetables, including basil, cilantro, raspberries and snow peas.
Doctors recommend thoroughly washing fresh produce before eating it to help reduce the risk of infection.
For many people, symptoms can be managed at home, and antibiotics are also effective, according to Winter.
He said patients with severe diarrhea should let their doctor know about their symptoms because many routine stool tests do not automatically screen for cyclospora.
“Most stool tests in laboratories don’t look for this. So you want to be sure and tell your doctor, I’ve got this, quote, explosive diarrhea. I’m cramping, I feel like hell, I have all this fatigue,” Winter said.
While the infection is uncommon, Winter said it can be especially difficult for those who become sick.
“It’s rare, but boy when you get it, it is tough,” Winter said.
