FORT WORTH, Texas – Authorities are investigating a fatal domestic-related stabbing that left one man dead and another injured Monday evening in west Fort Worth. Police confirmed the deceased as 61-year-old Eric Vann Morgan, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The incident occurred on September 29, 2025, around 6:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of Thorson Lane. Officers responding to a call about a stabbing found two victims and the suspected assailant still at the scene. Emergency personnel attempted lifesaving measures, but Morgan was pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, though their current condition has not been disclosed.
Investigators said Morgan and the second victim became involved in a violent altercation that quickly escalated. During the confrontation, Morgan allegedly stabbed the other individual multiple times. At that point, a suspect—who authorities confirmed is related to Morgan—intervened in the fight and stabbed Morgan several times, fatally wounding him.
Police are treating the case as a domestic homicide, emphasizing the complex nature of the incident. Detectives with the Fort Worth Police Department’s homicide unit have launched a full investigation, interviewing witnesses and the suspect to piece together the chain of events that led to the fatal stabbing. The identity of the suspect has not yet been released.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the official cause and manner of death for Morgan. Meanwhile, police have not announced any charges but confirmed that the case remains active. Authorities have not released additional details about the suspect’s relationship to Morgan or whether the hospitalized victim is also a family member.
The tragedy underscores the dangers of domestic disputes escalating into violence. Fort Worth police continue to urge residents to seek mediation or intervention in situations of conflict to prevent deadly outcomes. As the investigation unfolds, the community awaits answers about what led to the deadly confrontation on Thorson Lane.
