A 30-year-old man was arrested on a deadly conduct charge, neighbor was not seriously hurt
ARLINGTON, Texas — A 30-year-old man was arrested on a deadly conduct charge after police said a gunshot fired inside an Arlington apartment went through a wall and grazed a neighboring resident.
Officers were called to an apartment complex in the 1600 block of Carter Drive just after 11 p.m. Wednesday. The 911 caller told police he heard a gunshot and felt something graze his leg. Investigators later found a bullet hole in the wall of his apartment and determined the shot had come from a neighboring unit, police said.
The man was not seriously injured.
Concerned someone inside the adjoining apartment may have been hurt, officers attempted several times to contact anyone inside before forcing entry into the unit, police said.
Officers found multiple people inside the apartment, but none were injured.
During the investigation, however, police said they learned 30-year-old David Hernandez Martinez had multiple firearms. They also found a bullet hole in the wall connected to the neighboring apartment where the victim was grazed, police said.
Hernandez Martinez was arrested and booked into the Arlington City Jail on one count of deadly conduct.
According to jail records, bond has not yet been set for Hernandez Martinez.
