Wes Smith Shot Dead, Former TCU Football Player, Purdy Charged ( All Facts)

One person is in custody, accused of gunning down a TCU student in Fort Worth’s popular West 7th entertainment district overnight Thursday.

“We typically consider this a fun area to hang out in,” Colton Hostetler said visiting the area Friday afternoon.

Wes Smith, a junior finance major at the university who was originally from Germantown, Tennessee, died early Friday morning after police said he was shot several times near the 3000 block of Bledsoe Street.

Smith’s family released a statement saying in part “Wes was truly an amazing and loving son, brother, cousin, and friend to so many. We are heartbroken by his passing…”

TCU Chaplain Rev. Todd Boling said Smith’s Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers gathered at the chapel to light a candle in his memory and to honor him.

“He was kind and cared about people and he wanted them to know that,” Boling said. “He led bible studies for his fraternity. He was actively involved in bible study for the campus ministries as well.  There’s a real sense of loss around how wonderful he was and the fact that he’s gone now.”
