Authorities in North Richland Hills have arrested four individuals in connection to the April 29 shooting that claimed the life of 17-year-old Alvin Ray Sweet and left a female bystander injured.

The deadly gunfire erupted around 10:30 p.m. in the 8400 block of Emerald Hills Way. Responding officers discovered Sweet inside a black Honda Civic that had collided with a parked vehicle. He was suffering from gunshot wounds and was transported to a hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. A woman, wounded by a stray bullet, was located near an apartment entrance and also taken to the hospital for treatment.
