Haltom City police are reminding North Texans to stay safe when buying and selling online after a transaction for expensive jeans ended in gunfire late last night.
Police said that at about 11:30 p.m., a Dallas resident drove to Haltom City to meet up and purchase some expensive jeans being advertised on OfferUp. The victim was suspicious because of how late it was, but decided to go anyway.When the victim arrived at an apartment complex located in the 5600 block of Coventry Park Drive, it quickly became clear that the jeans were not as described in the ad. The sale started to go poorly, and the victim drove off.
As they drove off however, the suspect pulled out a pistol and began firing. The victim’s vehicle was hit multiple times and one of the rounds managed to pierce through the frame.Luckily, the bullet had slowed down enough that it was not able to penetrate the jacket and the victim was left with only bruises.
