Arrest made after man found dead inside plastic storage container on Fort Worth road

Fort Worth Police have arrested Tisha Hulsey, 51, on charges of murder after she allegedly placed the body of 52-year-old Dwight Hood inside a plastic storage container and abandoned it on the side of a road in northwest Fort Worth last month.

On June 5, authorities discovered Hood’s body inside the container in the 3300 block of McCandless Street around 2:47 p.m., near a road leading to a shale gas pad. The grim discovery prompted an investigation by the Fort Worth Police Department’s homicide unit.

Police have not disclosed the circumstances surrounding Hood’s death and have provided no additional details about the incident. According to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office, the cause and manner of Hood’s death are currently listed as “pending.”

Hulsey was taken into custody on Monday, July 1, and booked at the Fort Worth City Jail. There is no information available on whether she has secured legal representation or if she has been released on bond.
