Carlos Aybar, 30, was fatally shot in The Marq on West 7th apartment office in Fort Worth on April 21. He was a maintenance worker at the complex.
Smith — who also faces a deadly conduct charge stemming from an April 6 incident where officers responded to a report of shots fired in downtown Fort Worth but did not find any victims — remains in custody. His total bail is $175,000.Aybar’s family has hired attorneys James Trujillo and Ramon Gonzalez to consider legal action against the apartment complex.
According to a police call log, a woman called 911 and reported she was working in the office and a man was arguing with her over an animal-control violation. The woman told dispatchers an employee had been shot and she was locked in a restroom while the man was standing outside the door shooting.
Outside the apartments, a memorial to him grew during the week. Several bouquets of flowers, a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beverages sat near a doorway Thursday along with a message from the residents that said, “Gone from our sight but never from our hearts.” “This would not have happened if he was not allowed to stay there,” Trujillo said. “The second that these complaints started happening to the manager, they should have initiated eviction proceedings immediately.”

This was the second 'Roll Call' luncheon at the base. 'This flag that hangs right here is a product of your service to this nation,' Commanding Officer Mark McLean told the group. NAS JRB hosted a roll call luncheon last year, and McLean said he would like to make the luncheon an annual event. Smaller events have also been held at other locations nearby. McLean said the events can give veterans a chance to connect.
