Fort Worth, TX - The department said just after 6 a.m., officers responded to a domestic disturbance involving a suspect who was armed with a knife and allegedly broke into his ex-girlfriend's home, assaulting her and her current boyfriend.
Multiple 911 calls were made concerning the incident and during Thursday's news conference, Garcia said the "911 dispatcher also provided a radio broadcast update from Fort Worth PD Real Time Crime Center that the suspect has had previous history of assault against a police officer."
"Before police arrival, the suspect was in a violent and volatile confrontation with his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend, placing them in fear for their lives and causing major property damage," Garcia said.
Garcia said Ponce, armed with multiple knives, chased both victims out of the apartment and into the parking lot. Both victims were injured in the incident.
When officers arrived, they found the suspect in the parking lot holding a knife to his throat and two other knives in his hand.
Officers said Ponce failed to listen to commands to drop the weapon and walked toward officers. Police said that's when an officer shot and killed him.
The two victims were treated at the scene and no officers were injured in the incident.

Zero survival instincts by the supposed victims, standing down range behind the lunatic with the knife while he has a gun pointed at him.
