Fort Worth, Texas — On Thursday, January 30, 2025, at around 4:17 p.m., the Lake Worth Police Department conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for a traffic violation. During the stop, the suspect, 35-year-old Nicholas Sides, sped away, attempting to flee in the vehicle from Lake Worth Officers. A pursuit began, which ended when he crashed into a backyard with his vehicle near Sansom Park. Upon exiting his vehicle, Sides immediately opened fire multiple times on officers before they had a chance to stop their vehicles. The officers attempted to de-escalate the situation and gave Sides multiple commands to comply. He ignored their commands, got back into the vehicle with his gun pointed to his head, and then drove past officers. A second pursuit began and ended at a residence in the 1700 block of Skyline Dr. in Fort Worth, and Sides ran inside.

The Fort Worth Police Crisis Intervention Team and SWAT were called to the scene while officers from multiple agencies set a perimeter around the house. For several hours, attempts were made to negotiate and de-escalate the situation. At some point, Sides set off fireworks around and inside the home. Sides eventually exited the house with a gun to his head and refused to follow police commands. Fort Worth SWAT struck him with 40mm less lethal rounds in an attempt to disarm him. The suspect then fired a gun in the direction of officers multiple times. In response, an officer from Fort Worth SWAT fired his weapon once and struck Sides in the torso. Medical attention was provided on scene to Sides, who was then taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. No officers or other civilians were injured.
